Friendster Will Delete Your Data On May 31, 2011

 I had different email account for my Friendster account. 'Cause Friendster is almost non-existent in these days where FaceBook dominated all the social networking sites in the world, I don't want to be bothered anymore by email notifications that came from Friendster.

But I can still remember when Social Networking is young in the Philippines, I will spend hours editing my profile to make more personalized. Tons and tons of html edits had been done, I'll go to some profile to get some cool ideas. There was Friendster profile customization craze in the Philippines during those days as far as I know.

Then here comes the FaceBook. Basically, unlike the Friendster, FaceBoook was strict in terms of designing your own profile. The theme is blue-black-white and nothing more. Probably that would be one of the reasons why FaceBook became so popular. The neatness and simplicity adds more power to FaceBook.

Last week, I read from my friend in FaceBook's status update that Friendster will be vanish from thin air.Then, I remember all my memorable pictures there especially my college graduation pictures. So for a very long time, again I open my email account for Friendster and found-out this message.

 

The message tells me that the Friendster is introducing a new and improved site so I have to export all my profile data  on or before May 31, 2011. 

So I try to export all my data. After a while(I think hours depending on how large your data is) I received again an email with download link of your profile data.

I don't know all the answers about this but I got this news that FaceBook acquires Friendster patents for tantamount $40 million.
