The page also says, “Bringing it Back to Society. Rediscover the charm of the early era of social networking, now rejuvenated with a contemporary touch. Friendster is better than ever and for society.”

Friendster itself is a social networking site founded in 2002 by Jonathan Abrams. The name Friendster is taken from two words, “Friend” which means friend, and “Napster”, a legendary illegal music file sharing site.
Since its launch in 2002, the site quickly gained rapid popularity around the world. At that time, Friendster was one of the first networks to reach 1 million members.

However, after the arrival of Myspace and Facebook, users had a wider range of choices, and Friendster quickly began losing members. Then in 2011, the site was relaunched as a social gaming platform and reached 115 million registered users.
Many things happened, making Friendster ultimately unable to survive. On June 14, 2015, the site and its services were closed indefinitely, however the company did not officially close until the end of June 2018.
What do you think, Beauties? Are you interested in using Friendster again?
