Today, Friendster unveiled its new look — simpler, cleaner and loads way faster. Friendster Philippines is doing the launch at the Boni High Street this noon.
But if you log back in to your Friendster account now, you will see the new design.
Here’s a video they’ve uploaded explaining the new features with the cleaner activity stream reminding me of Facebook Status. And I have to admit, it loads faster and looks cleaner than Facebook too.
Now, all they need is to Zynga to come on board and offer FarmVille on the site.
Could Friendster make a comeback? Check out our Friendster Profiles and let us know.
facebook ripoff! haha

kasi naman ang friendster ay masyado madami clutter sa design. Twitter and Facebook are much cleaner and more simple than friendster..
hiNdi xa real time tulad ng facebook. nid mo pang irefresh o reload para sa new feeds. pero go go go fs para makahabol kau sa facebook. at pls don’t copy to facebook. maxadong obvious na.

so what with friendster, I really don’t like what they are doing, they kept on changing their theme style..
It’s the people who will drive the lifeline of social network sites, the more the merrier, I still remember when I used to invite my friends to facebook way back, they will just ignore my invitation, WHY? none of their other friends is using it except me (poor me), suddenly a swift turn around of events everyone has a facebook and completely abandoned friendster TELL ME WHY AGAIN? no ones updating their friendster anymore, people start noticing its getting quiter day after day then they realized tadah they been loggin into facebook and doing farm and mafia…
The farmville made all the difference.. kahit saan ka pumunta (even TV celebs) are talking about harvesting and planting.
Kaya ayun, the rest is history.. the networking comes naturally.. kase maglalaro ng farmville para socially updated sila.
FB is still way better, we must admit. Pero i still owe Friendster BIG TIME! You know why? It’s where I met my awesome and loving wife. Can you blame me? It still serves it’s purpose anyway.
Jologs na rin FB mas nauna lang maging jologs ang Friendster.
Nice to see Friendster shaking things up a little bit. Not sure though if it’ll make even a small dent on Facebook’s popularity these days.
I’ve tried to login to Friendster yesterday, but may be due to heavy traffic, I’m not even able to login to the site. Anyway, I managed to login today and was able to go through the site.
Here’s what I observed:
> The new site is definitely faster than the old one
> Most of the site’s navigation tabs are still the same
> The default theme is colored green. I haven’t had a chance to checkout other sites who have customized their profile pages before. Perhaps now, they’re colored green too?
I’m not sure if Friendster can ever come back into the game especially that Facebook has already reached 350M users and still growing leaps in bounds especially in the Philippines.
I actually wrote an article way back why Facebook is becoming more popular than Frienster @ http://www.akosiallan.com/is-facebook-now-more-popular-than-friendster-in-the-philippines/.

Malalaos rin ang Facebook tulad ng Friendster.
simplicity and functionality absorbs traffic. so i guess it all boils down to that.
does friendster alreday has a feature to re-activate long-forgotten(dormant) accounts?
nice 2 m8 u?

I prefer the old logo.
Sana they just improved it instead of replacing it with that doodle, the grunge artwork and cleaner look is fine but still the new logo sucks.
@Lance tama ka I also feel bad about the old smiley
i like the old ono way better,, faster.. now too slow.. like dial up..
well…. the logo is so feminine… boys don’t like it… pramiz..
meeh comeback? No way. They imitated facebook user interface. Halos lahat ginaya. Ung search box, ung feeds, pati ung mga notifications buti nga ung chat sa baba di nila sinama lol. Kaya nga nagpalit na interface facebook ngayon ginaya kasi sila ng friendster. Sad friendster.
