Earlier this week, Friendster announced that they will be deleting all blogs, photos, comments and groups created or uploaded on their site. They then asked users to export them before May 31.
When I got the news, I thought I should go and log in again to my Friendster account and export my files. Friendster was also trending on Twitter that day because of the announcement.
Four days later, I still haven’t gone to the site downloaded my data. Then I realized, why bother? I don’t think I even started a blog there or uploaded a lot of important photos. I wasn’t a Friendster-type of person then, the same way I’m not really a Facebook-type now.
In any case, do people really bother to go thru all that or they just let their account die a natural death? I reckon, one day, this too will happen to Facebook and Twitter.
It is always dangerous to export these online data between websites. My website

I think FB and Twitter will also suffer the same fate if another interesting social network will disrupt them, which I think is not going to happen soon. :)
wanted to. pero it was too late. sayang mga comments. and we need to preserve history so dapat talaga sinave ko yun. sayang. :|
I have deleted my friendster account a long time ago.. though I wish an exporter existed before I deleted my account. haha
sa palagay ko rin, may katapusan din itong fb at twitter. kung friendster nga hindi natin naisip dati na mawawala until fb and twitter came. panapanahon lang yan.
i did export files from there just this weekend. my college life had a lot of updates from there.
as for facebook i don’t have an account so if it suffers the same fate i won’t mind.
for twitter, i just recently signed up to follow a particular person. when it starts to lose it’s spot i’m okay with it.
i agree with you yuga i think this will also happen to facebook and twitter. Innovations are too fast.
