have you wondered when was your last time you log into Friendster?

if i'm able to remember, perhaps it's around 2years?

Barely 2 years ago, Friendster was No.1 in Singapore. The incumbent had an average of 907,000 visitors monthly with users spending almost 2.5 hours on average on the site.

Today, Facebook gets about 160 times more traffic than Friendster. And Friendster? It was bought over for a mere S$140million last year by online payment solutions provider MOL Global, part of a Malaysian conglomerate owned by billionaire businessman Vincent Tan.

Third-party applications:The engineers there could not have thought of every possible game or frivolous poke you’d want to send to a friend, so they let others do it for them. The plan worked so well that developing apps for Facebook moved from hobby to marketing campaigns by companies to get our attention.

Simple to be social: Facebook changed everything. It was not only simple to post something to your news stream, but they made every single action, post, picture, and video easy to forward, like, reply, and comment. Who would have thought there’d be a need to comment on every single photo and even the album?

Discovery: I recall in 2008, almost every friend I had who started using Facebook talked about how they managed to hook up with old school mates they hadn’t seen in ages. But in order for Facebook to help us with this discovery, it required true data. We had to leave our anonymity behind at forums and IRC and entrust social networks with our true identity.
