BASICALLY FRIENDSTER IS OFFICALLY NOW A ONLINE GAMING SITE.. Hah! Not even that can impress me, i think you have been doing a lot of gigs lately trying to be alive and competitive with the social networking era since you've been beaten by this so called famous facebook and twitter. oh, yeah?! what about mylot and mypage5, this Internet social networking businesses is going the WRONG WAY. now, friendster is following them! Just Look at this letter that I got from the CEO.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [i]Dear fellow Friendster members, As many of you may know, Friendster announced that it is re-launching itself as a social gaming portal and launched a beta version of the new Friendster a couple of weeks ago. The beta version was well received. I am pleased to announce that the new Friendster is going live thereby enabling all our users to login to the new Friendster using your existing Friendster username and password. Friendster has touched the lives of many. Since MOL, the company I founded acquired Friendster in early last year; many people have come up to me to tell me how Friendster has changed their lives. Many have told me that they have found their life partners over Friendster. Just last week, a successful Internet entrepreneur in Singapore told me that her success was triggered by promoting her business on Friendster. Friendster pioneered social networking and ignited the social media industry that has created billion dollar companies such as Facebook and Twitter, companies that may not have existed in their present form if not for Friendster's early innovation. Today, Friendster is in a unique position to take advantage on the growth of social gaming. Through its relationship with MOL, which has a 10 year history in working with gaming companies, Friendster has both the experience and track record to make innovations in this space.Today, as Friendster reinvents itself as a social gaming destination that enables its users to create multiple avatars, play games and enjoy rewards; I hope that all of you will wish us luck and continue to support us in our new reincarnation. The new Friendster is not perfect and we will continue to add new games and features such as localization and rewards over the next few months. Our team is working hard on adding these features and welcomes your suggestions and comments on how we can better serve your needs as a social gaming and entertainment destination. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and hope that all of you will enjoy the new Friendster as Friendster continues to innovate to serve and entertain you better. Yours truly, Ganesh Kumar Bangah Chief Executive Officer[/i] ceo@friendster.com I have checked the site and here it is now. not a referral link. http://www.friendster.com There was some "FEED BACK" option and i didn't hesitate to give on on this matter. [i] you should have venture into a MORE FORUM social network EARNING SITE rather than a gaming site. you'd never win against facebook. and besides, they aren't gonna be famous for that long as more people get into the social earning sites like mylot and mypage5. why can't you just do us a favor and start sharing revenues with the users.[/i] I wonder, what the HELL Happened to our Pictures there!... * The CEO happens to be from India, well that's great! can some of our Indian friends from MYLOT to tell this GUY that's taking friendster into whole NEW WRONG DIRECTION* Because I can promise right now, I'd never go back to that site again... PS: I saw a lot of FEED BACK and a lot are very very ANGRY PEOPLE Photos,comments, APP and others are now GONE! For Used to be friendster members, how do you feel?
