Courier Complaints Drop 88% Under Oplan Bantay Padala ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo and Zephyurus G now officially available in PH Infinix HOT 70: Coming in HOT Under P8,000! Insta360 Luna Ultra launched, priced in the Philippines Infinix HOT 70 now available with Dynamic Shine design

كنتُ أقوم بنشر منشور سريع في موقع Pinoy.Tech.Blog حول "إعلانات Friendster بـ 20 بيسو" عندما صادفتُ إحصائياتهم التي تدعي وجود 5 ملايين مستخدم للفيليبينيين على Friendster.

تشير الأرقام من إحصائيات الإنترنت العالمية إلى أن عدد الفلبينيين المتصلين بالإنترنت بلغ 7.82 مليون نسمة في عام 2005 (مقارنة بـ 2 مليون فقط في عام 2000). وهذا يعني أن أكثر من 3 من كل 5 أشخاص لديهم إمكانية الوصول إلى الإنترنت يمتلكون حسابًا على Friendster.

هذا معدل اشتراك جيد حقًا. لكنني أعتقد أن الـ 5 ملايين تشمل حسابات مكررة، وحسابات شبحية، وحسابات مجهولة يستخدمها معظم الناس للتجول في "فرينتير" بحثًا عن الصور.

First Off, good posting in Philippines, Technology News & Reviews, just wandering through some web sites, seems to be a really efficient package you are utilising. Why didnt I remember about this? I would actually like to read more on this matter.

i just wanted to make a suggestion to friendster developers… based on my experience, there is a person who used my name to create an account, used my photo, put my face on a nude photos… it’s really disgusting. i just learn about this through my friend who search for my name and told me that why i’ve upload such photos.

although there is note on friendster that members should not post nudity on this site.. why other users are still posting those kind of photos.

suggest to please make sure that there are incharge on filtering of photos that are being posted on friendster.

hay,,, naku ang hirap mag friendster lalo na kapag mabagal ang internet noh..,,

paolo · 19 years ago

im quite hooked in the net. in friendster for example, i have 10 accounts, each with more than a thousand friends each. i guess that 5 million doesn’t really translate that 5 million different individuals have friendster site. but still, the figure is awesome. good thing that friendster had updated their site wherein you can have several thousand friends on one account, at least you dont have to keep on creating new one just to accomodate all the pending invites to you. ^_^

Do a search on Friendster. Any country, and 90% of the profiles shown are Filippions….

sphincter · 20 years ago

I find that really easy to believe. When you search ANY country for people, 80% of the people displayed are Philipinos living around in those countries. Try it out!

It only means that Filipinos are Friendster addict….I wonder how it started????

malufet · 20 years ago

Alfie · 20 years ago

yeah, maybe the number bloat because of duplicated account. I, for example, have 5 accounts for my 5 different personalities. bwahahaha. :))

kzap · 20 years ago

i think there are a lot more online filipinos. like how many play online games alone?

The Ca t · 20 years ago

yugz,
check my entry about top technorati bloggers.

Abaniko · 20 years ago

some have multiple friendster accounts. don’t you think that in the stats, they assume 1 account = 1 filipino? this then bloats the total figure. but it’s interesting that we have this many filipino firendster accounts. what about filipino blogs?
