Hello my friends over there, Last month during my vacation in the Phillipines, I've heard in the news that friendster is coming for closure their social networking instead they will focus on games, music and others. For this reasons do we expect more new applicants in other social networking like facebook, flikr and others? We all know that not all friendster fanatics are not migrated to FB - since they announcing what do you think they are going to do, join to FB or just nothing? What is you views about this... are you friendster before, still or migrated already? see you around...

Hello Visavis, It's really the sad fate of friendster that they're dying. they're one of the most popular sites five to six years ago. the first time i found out about friendster was 2003, andit was the hype of the internet year. but since this facebook has now been exported to us too, we migrated so Facebook. I have a friend who focuses social networking there for along time. he doesn't listen when ever i tell him to have a Facebook account.

Sometimes happened like that if you are familiar for something you have 2nd thought to live it. Anyway, as I heard from the news Friendster management put a tools how to import, copy all data, picture in the account of the members but they put also a date upto when will stay there or else deleted such things. So advise your friend to act now... see you around

hi visavis I am not on Friendster; but on Facebook and Mylot and I have more than enough to do with those two. I have no idea as to what people on Friendster would do. Me I would leave freindster and come to mylot where you can earn while just enjoying your self and learning something new each day. for mylot.

When they will close it? I have an account there but I haven't been there for ages.I think most of the members of friendster are not there or not active anymore and due to that friendster plan to close its social networking site. I think they already join facebook long time ago~

That humors has been announced a month ago and not you said till the end of May so the humors are getting to reality, ok now you are enjoying how about after end of May... so if you have some important pictures and other I think better to download or copy... However, the humors said that only social networking will be closed and some changes to be introduced.. for us better to wait and see.. thanks and see you around

I think even those who are friendster fanatics have their facebook accounts. I mean we all know how people became so addicted in facebook a yer or two ago. To be honest, even before I had my facebook account, I never really visit my friendster account too often, like, I only visit my profile 2 or 3 times a year because back then, we don't have an internet connection at home and I don't want to spend my money just to rent a computer in an internet shop. =) But now, I am also getting tired of facebook, I am just happy that facebook really helped me to stay connected with my friends even if we don't see each other for a very very long time.
