Is Friendster really that left behind? I find this move a desperate one, since they did a major update on the looks and design of the website, but a tad feature wise. They mostly made changes on the looks, but not on features that most would expect. Of course I would appreciate that friendster now loads faster, new applications, new games and shop. But who cares about these? They have to do better, people are with facebook now and enjoying it.

Friendster is the past, sure they opened up the future for Facebook and mySpace but they are already out of the competition. Friendster is not as popular as it is before, but still has millions of users. Most of these users are probably just for spamming.
Public demand today is never ending innovation. People want to socialize in these social networks not because of the features that were supported a year ago, they also want to share what is new within the social website as well. Like in facebook right now, we can share to our friends what are the latest games and applications released on facebook. We spend so much time sharing these games and endlessly playing them.

Right now, in the socializing networks facebook and twitter is the king and queen. Friendster is not new to the social networking kingdom and he is looking for a comeback. Sad to say that after knowing this new’s I just heard of rumors that friendster will be sold to an Asian company for over $100 million. We this is still rumors though, we will soon hear more of this.
