Yes this is a bad news, Friendster has been slowly fading. Friendster slowly fades in the United States but not in other part of the world. Mainly in the Asian region. Friendster now moves as it begun letting programmers create photo-sharing applications and other programs that work on Friendster as well as rival sites.
Friendster Inc. have already said that it will support this idea. They will support this initiative, a Google Inc.-led plan called OpenSocial. But few week ago, Friendster released the software tools that let outside programmers easily adapt chats, games and other functions initially made for other online hangouts.
Friendster's use in the United States has fallen with the rise of newer online hangouts. Still, Friendster has been hot in Asia, particularly in the Philippines and other markets that the leading U.S. social networks are trying to tap as domestic online advertising growth slows down.
Facebook has yet to publicly back OpenSocial, though Facebook has had tremendous success encouraging developers to write tools specifically for it.
Other participants in OpenSocial include hi5, LinkedIn, Ning, Google's Orkut and Bebo, which Time Warner Inc.'s AOL recently bought for $850 million.
