According to a report by CNN Indonesia, the famous social networking site from the 2000s plans to make a comeback “in the near future.”
On the official Friendster website, you will find a text that reads “Bringing It Back to the People. Rediscover the charm of the early era of social networking, now rejuvenated with a contemporary twist. Friendster is better than ever and for the people.” It also teases about “a new era of personalized networking.”
As of writing, Friendster still has a sign-up page for those who are interested in getting early access. No changes and updates yet since CNN first spotted it.
With Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger’s recent massive outage, Filipinos also sparked conversations online about missing the good old days of Friendster.
Almost two years ago, a fake Friendster website went viral and got the hopes up of people waiting for the social network’s revival. With this development, it looks like people’s wishes will finally come true.
