There are many social media that hook up as our daily routine to check up. Example like Facebook, Twitter,Instagram, Snapchat and many more. But before all booming, I think the first generation for social media is Friendster. I am not remember when it closed, I think about 2011 because all their customers not active anymore and choose to using Facebook instead. But what I remember I can find my old friends from my childhood from Friendster. I looking for them and get some information from them. When it happened, handphone still expensive and difficult to find your old friend. But now, technology changes to be better and better. What about you? Do you ever try using Friendster?

Yeah that was my first social media account created. I guess they were the pioneer in such field before facebook came out strong. I am just sad that the owner wasn't able to compete since the feature of frindster was really quite good back then when facebook was just starting. The only problem I think they faced there was they did not innovate as fast as facebook did in those days. Eventually facebook became more and more popular and Friendster faded in the background. Had they stand and been more creative they could have survive it fair and square.

True. Nokia also was like that, they were stubborn to change and go with the trend that is why samsung who adopted the more flexible android os overtook Nokia. if only Nokia had felt the need to innovate they could have stayed alive in the cellphone business.

Yes, i have tried using it before. I like friendster very much before because we can customize our own page unlike any other social media site now.
