I heard Friendster is closing down

I had a feeling this would happen sooner or later. I stopped going there for some time , but then again.... without Friendster , I wouldn't be able to Facebooking ... another site which I used to be frequent on is Multiply. Don't know what's happening to it but last I check , it is still around. R.I.P Friendster , you've been a good social networking site so far.

Hello Ddaguno, It's really sad that things are not looking good for facebook. i just couldn't believe after all these years, friendsters is about to loose it's seat in teh social networking.time flies by and i think they made a mistake when they tried to compete it with facebook. they should have considered becoming more like MYLOT and Mypage5. they might have the chance to be more attractive.

Personally, I've stopped using that site like two years ago. Facebook is better and by the time that Friendster upgraded, everybody was into Facebook already. My friend told me about it because she told me to save my pictures. I have wondered about the same thing since you can't save or download the photos in there. Luckily, I mostly have copies of my pictures there in my Multiply site.

Yes, it is really a very sad thing that Friendster will close down this end of May. It's just around the corner. About the pictures. There is an application in Friendster that allows you to export all your pictures and albums to either Flickr or Multiply. It depends on your choice. I think it is the Friendster exporter tool. Try to find it in Friendster. I have already exported my pictures to Flickr. However, the problem about I had with it is that Flickr has a maximum capacity of 200 photos for the free account members. I had to delete some of the photos in order to maintain the maximum allowed.

hello ddaguno, You can share it to your facebook account I tried once because I was not able to grab my photos there Rumor said it will be close at the end of May happy mylotting

the only thing that a Friendster can be the best to Facebook is to have a mini video chat on their main page.... without permission you can instantly view who's online...

Yes. It's very sad that only days to go and they have to close down Friendster so that the new reinvention can come through. What I was saddened about when it comes to the reinvention of Friendster is that all the testimonials cannot be revived. All my testimonials are real treasures because friends and family have placed so much effort in writing something about you. I just hope that the next time Friendster resurfaces, they will still allow users to give a testimonial. It will be so much fun and brings warmth to your heart and soul.

Can't you download it from the site? If it's closing down, meaning it is still is up and running, right? Download it before it closes down.

I agree it's the facebook that made the Friendster closing down this year.I'm not sure with the exact date of when it will close.Friendster is nice as well facebook.It's my first social network ever and I think I'm highschool when friendster is very popular.Facebook that time is still starting and boom it became much more famous.I think they will give instructions how you can save the picture.

dear friend, Open the site now and grab those pictures. I am not sure how does Friendster works,if you can downloads the photos that you've uploaded there or not. Now,if the site won't allow you to download or grab those photos,the least you can do is do it thru "printscreen"

hello ddaguno~ i've heard it also fron the local news... and yes, i too have the same problem, i just cant back up those pictures i've had long long ago.. we can't either save the picture! unlike facebook photos it has a download option... hmmmm what a waste :(

it was mentioned on one article on the net that they might release an application that can back up your images... not sure though if it pushed through

I have heard of Friendster but have to admit that I never used and or signed up to the site. This is sad for you and so many who have used it. Sorry to hear of this, maybe all will join facebook and or here where you can interact routinely. I was also going to suggest screenshots and or how about photobucket to upload via html. Best of luck and sorry about the site closing.

Aw, man, that sucks. :( Friendster was memorable for me as it had bits of my high school experiences. It's so sad they're closing down! I can't believe it. I know, Facebook did overthrow them. But I guess they should have seen that coming, huh? I think you can't download them anymore, too. I've tried and it didn't give me the opportunity to do so! Maybe you can try taking screen shots?

It's a shame, really. I don't think Facebook is THAT great. I'm mainly there because my friends and family are...
