I am amazed at how I was able to keep in touch with my long high school and college friends via Friendster. Imagine I have no contact numbers or whatsoever with them but I found them at Friendster. All I did was just type in their name at Friendster search box then viola, found most of them. As for the other people, I was able to get in touch with them by browsing the network of my friends.

After Friendster, there’s a lot of social networking sites e.g. multiply.com, facebook.com, linkedin.com and so much more. In fact, I tried to keep up by creating account with the several social networking sites to no avail I still prefer Friendster as most of my friends are already there.

I heard Friendster initially was for a dating site. But, the founders re-modeled the business of Friendster by making it the way it was now.

I am grateful to Friendster that up till now I was able to keep in touch with my friends. Hmm, I’d like to add that I found not only my friends at Friendster, but I was able to network with my cousins who are all over the world. It was indeed fun and sticky.
