Friendster or Facebook: anyone? @ Friday, July 10, 2009

The online community enthusiasts are now turned between two sites, Friendster and Facebook. These two giant networking sites are like battling out for popularity contest. However, it seems like our first love, Friendster, which by the way is still the biggest social networking site in the Philippines, is losing the battle to the newbie, Facebook. So what’s so appealing to Facebook that makes us be unfaithful to our first love friendster?

In the US and other parts of the world, Facebook is the dominant networking site. People are amazed with its user-friendliness. Its features are said to be very accessible enough to play around the site with the countless applications and tools to enjoy. The applications are also very interactive so there are a lot of things that can be done your with friends. It also allows you to track more friends than Friendster. No wonder why it has been really fast to catch-up in the Philippines. So has Friendster really lost the battle against Facebook? Is it really true that it is dying a slow death?

Friendster is now trying to catch up with Facebook as it is drawing near to the path taken by the latter. It will just be a matter of time before it will eventually match Facebook. Besides, it is still the icon of social networking in the Philippines and in Asia. The people still adores its simplicity and fun features. If Friendster will be successful, it will rise again and it might well be on its way to becoming the major competitor of Facebook.

Well, it wouldn’t really matter in the end who wins the popularity contest. What always matter to the online community is what site gives them the things that are important to them. Being close to family and friends no matter how far they really are, is the main reason why sites like Facebook and Friendster are made, they should truly serve their purpose in everyway possible.
