Mich texted me yesterday that their country manager is being interviewed by ABS-CBN. Well true enough after that, I read a lot of comments about Friendster. It went on the whole day. It was shown pala on tv haha. Well, the news finally reached the whole nation. Friendster.com will no longer be a social networking site, instead they will rebrand and relaunch as a gaming site. I've known this for quite some time since Mich has been working for them for 2 years now. And hopefully soon, me too! Got interviewed for a nice position and I really want the job so pray for me! Hehe.
Anyway, most of you may not know this yet but you can now export all of your data (profiles, photos, testimonials) and save them in your computer. I already downloaded mine and it's now safe and sound in my documents folder. Browsing through it, I can't help but feel a little sad. I've been a member of Friendster since 2003 and I really had fun using the site. I'm sure most of you would agree that it had really been a huge part of us--well it's true for me--our own little diary once upon a time. So as a tribute, here are some photos I extracted from my account... Don't laugh! We were all baduy and young once! Hahaha. And take note, most of the photos were taken using camera phones, my webcam and sinaunang digicam! Epic.

I agree with your last lines "nothing beats the testimonials and who viewed your page menu!"
ReplyDeleteI remember those days when you want to find your long lost friends solution number 1: friendster! You want to details about your crush and do some cyberstalking: solution number 1: friendster! haha!
I will never forget how everyone begged for those "build-me-up" testimonials. And even though you forced someone to give you that testimonial, you still feel happy! hahaha!
tama ka sis!!! stalking ang # 1 purpose. Hahahha! Tapos if gusto mo iview mga gf ng type mo iswitch mo account mo to anonymous viewing. Kalurkey. Hehehe! And yes, I still read some pms from friends begging me to write them a testimonial or 2. Laftrip:)
