"The new era of personalized networking. Rediscover the charm of the early era of social networking, now rejuvenated with a contemporary touch. Friendster is better than ever and for the community," reads the statement on the Friendster website.
History of Friendster
Friendster was founded in 2002 by a programmer named Jonathan Abrams. This site functions as a platform to connect people with their friends, share photos, and expand social networks.
When it was first launched, Friendster attracted the attention of 3 million users within a few months. This platform grew rapidly and had 115 million users, with the majority coming from Asia, including Indonesia. Friendster became very popular in Southeast Asia, especially in countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Many people spent hours updating their profiles, finding new friends, and interacting with people from around the world.
"The Most Popular Features"
The most popular feature on Friendster is "testimoni", which is similar to comments on modern websites. With this feature, users can give impressions and messages to other users, which are then displayed on their profile page. However, Friendster began to face competition after less than two years, with the emergence of platforms like Ringo.com by Michael Birch.
Google also tried to expand its social network with Orkut in January 2004, but it was not successful. The competition became even more intense with the emergence of MySpace in late 2003, which even tried to take over users from Friendster.
Many Competitors
However, in 2008, Friendster experienced a significant decline in popularity. The site began to lose its appeal due to the emergence of new competitors such as MySpace and Facebook. MySpace offered more interactive features, while Facebook offered simpler and user-friendly features and interface. Many Friendster users switched to these new platforms, causing Friendster to lose a large user base.
"Changed to Gaming Platform"
Although Friendster went through a difficult period, this site was still operational in 2009 with a different focus. Friendster transformed into a social gaming platform, offering various online games that can be played with friends. This change in focus successfully regained the interest of some old users and attracted new users. However, in 2015, the Friendster site could no longer be accessed.
"Friendster is Back!"
Friendster is an example of how social media can change over time. After being long gone, Friendster social media resurfaces. Its reappearance certainly brings back memories for old users and attracts the attention of potential new users.
The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "In conclusion, Friendster teaches us the importance of adapting to changes and continuously innovating to remain relevant in a constantly evolving world. 'A new era of personalized networking. Rediscover the charm of the early era of social networking, now rejuvenated with a contemporary touch. Friendster is better than ever and for the community,' writes Friendster on its website."
