Friendster Facts

Did you know that based on research from Alexa.com, Filipinos are among the biggest users of Friendster? Yup, Filipinos definitely love to connect to their families and friends in the country and around the globe! We rank ahead of other Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

There are many social networking sites (SNS). Over one hundred! And we probably know the more popular SNS like Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and even Classmates. But there are really some basic difference and many similarities between these SNS.

Common among many SNS are the abilities and utilities what users can do on their personal sites. Create and update personal profiles that allows users to upload photos, share videos and blogs. And link up with other users and join groups, plus leave comments on each other’s pages.

I am among the 60 million plus users of Friendster across 75 countries around the globe, since Friendster first begun in 2002 in San Francisco.

And thanks to technology, I have caught up with friends across the globe.

You, technology works.
