why Friendster didn't make it big in America

It won't be my first time to rant about this. 

It's terrible that my friends back in the Philippines still use Friendster. Why can't they make an account on Facebook so that everything will be fine? People should have seen this one coming. Long ago, (til now) Friendster had so many software glitches. I hate when you have to log out and in again when you change profile pictures, and the dozen lagging pages, and the pictures all over the place. It's too much. And does it even make sense that your recent updates say "updated 2 months ago"? I guess not. I first deleted my Friendster account September 2007 and decided to make one 3 months after when my friends and some relatives told me they could not contact me. Now I've read a lot of statements of abhorrence after some mysterious "Friendster losses": apparently more than half of their contacts were removed from the list. Oh how I would love for that thing to happen *especially to those pages adorned with glitters and audio and apps and everything clutter.

I think Friendster also tries too hard with the "Friend Finder", "Apps" and the news feed. (Hello, FB) Maybe the only original thing that can be attributed to them is their "It's Complicated" relationship status which I'm guilty of using once in my life. Hence, Friendster's logo should be frowning, not smiling.

Anyway, I don't know what's going to happen but I will still hold on to my account because of the few people I still contact through that platform. But other than that, I hope it crashes even further so all of the people migrate to Facebook for my convenience. 

*Sorry, I just love to hate and I know I am a hypocrite on some aspects but I can't stop myself from laughing at certain self-conceited people. I miss having enemies.
