Hey guys! I'm a new registered member of Facebook since last week, and guess what? For a week, I forgot i had a friendster, never checked it since I had an account at facebook. I find it way cooler than friendster because its easier to use, and most of all, the GAMES! Do you all agree that facebook far surpasses friendster? Cause I sure do...

I agree I started using it December of last year when a friend invited me in there and after sometime I really forgot my friendster account too. Now, I rarely visit friendster since I had an experience that my account was hacked and used to spread malicious messages to my friends there. From then on, I stayed away from that site. My account still is alive there but seldom do I visit them.

Having your account hacked is really painful. We always worked hard maintaining our accounts, then suddenly someone would just destroy everything we've worked hard for. I just hope that accounts being hacked in friendster won't happen in facebook.

I believe that. Facebook really got a lot of stuff where you can always have fun and spend some time with. Its cool that they actually give us users some entertainment and fun.

hello jankar! yeah i think so... coz i remember before, my friends are all in friendster and always talked about it! but now, i rarely see them in friendster and i feel like they also forgot that they have a friendster account! haha riht now, all of them including me is in facebook and addicted to it! haha coz facebook offers a lot for its members...games are just so cool & addictive and communication with friends is much much faster than in friendster... their chat feature is very good way of instant communicating with our fb friends... so i think facebook already left friendster behind...sad to say.

It probably did over shadow Myspace, which in turn overshadowed Friendster. People migrated to Myspace because the servers were more reliable. They migrated again to Facebook because Myspace became overrun by spammers., ugly profiles that took forever to fully load up, and other annoying things such as that. You really have to wonder whats the next phase of socal networking. MySpace and Facebook both have applications and games now. Both have their fair share of spammers as well. The next big social network that everyone flocks to for whatever reason better be something truly special, because as their core, Facester, Mybook and Friendspace all offer the same sore elements. There are more than enough online game sites on the internet to appease everyone. Some offer free MMO's, others offer Java and flash content. That's not really a big selling point to me, but it seems to be the deal maker to others.
