First topic message reminder :

This thread serves as a petition for the app deletion problem.
Say here anything you want to say to friendster.(may it be a rant, a thank you or just a feedback) (the longer, the effective).

---

Here's mine (a feedback) :

Friendster is nice "yes", but not that nice as the other sites like facebook, multiply, plurk (yeah truth hurts). but they do have something that others doesnt have "ANYMORE". Profile customization.

on Profile Customization, Friendster is on rank 1, multiply on rank 2, facebook on 3(having the lowest).

BUT, if our ways of customizing the profiles on friendster is gone, id say

Multiply will be on 1st place
Facebook will be 2nd
thus friendster on the last place. why? double the number of friendster users = that's the number of facebook users around the globe.

So yea, why friendster is deleting our apps? because of security.
They sacrifice usability over security.

a lot of "professional" web bloggers i have talked to said that friendster is much more like their own personal blogs which can they customize the way they want thus preferring it more than any other social networking site. true? i think so.

but what friendster is doing?

friendster killed almost all of the friendster layout sites, friendster customization sites. all just because of security. i think that's their biggest mistake. well look at the web now, almost all users are switching to facebook. well yea friendster has the same (not so) features of facebook but i must say that it's kinda bit obvious that friendster is just trailing what facebook is doing. (apps, chat, even the developer platform of facebook is the same as here ). i dont think that would appeal to the masses.

Another reason of why friendster is doing these are the ads.
Friendster is a free site, anyone can use it without charges(unlike multiply that offers a premium account with a whopping price). So for that reason, what is the thing that keeps friendster alive? ....... ads. yes there are ads all over the site. (all of the pages) i actually once mistaken friendster to an ad site putting that aside, are their ads really enough to monetize the whole company? i dont think so.

Here's what i think that they may do to atleast have a change and also appeal to the masses.

1. Remove the ads.

Yes i think this will break their back at first but my second suggestion is needed for this.

2. Paid Accounts.

Yes why not? Many users will and would pay just for their profiles to bloom and to have more storage AND GET RID OF THE ADS ON THEIR PROFILES.

3. Developer - User relationship.

Developers on friendster must consult friendster users also on their updates. they never done it eversince have they? not knowing that this is one of the important things around.

---

Above all, i dont think friendster sucks but about what's going around now, i think it will soon suck.

Competing with other big companies, they should do something different. something the other companies doesnt have.


May this thread be an inspiration to others like me. Do not stay silent. Write here and let your words be heard.

Good luck to us. :)

Friendster - nakakainis,

failed to approve friend requests.

^
same with you haix ..

Are you satisfied with friendster?
: Not anymore since they keep on filtering it. I show who i am in my cuztomizations. Now it's not working, i seldomly open my account now.

What's the things that keeps you with it?
: I still got a lot of friends using it cause they don't know how to use the facebook. Facebook is kinda hard to operate at first. Been there.

What is the thing that you dont like about friendster's doings?
: The adds are really annoying. I like the old friendster where you cant see who commented who. and everything. facebook have that. why follow what they're doing right? lot of users love friendster cause in the first place, it is the most popular websites [back then].

What do you think friendster might do to get users better?
: well obviously, try having surveys from the users of what they must and musn't do to ther website. AND TRY REMOVING THE ADDS. it's kinda irritating. promise!

Will you leave friendster if it stays like this?
: HELL YEAH ! it gets lamer and lamer everyday. LAME i tell yah!

waah!!!! all my codes in friendster are gone!!!

i hope that they finish it fast.!

I'm always feeling upset when fs team always deleting hcg's app. I was like, am I going to update again the codes as well as my app? I'm way too lazy for these and yea, I'm so sick of this. Earlier, when I opened my profile, nothing appears but just a simple profile. Now I realized why people moved on to facebook, with this, people enjoying the features of facebook i mean all that involves in this social networking. Friendster is being so strict when it comes to HideCodesGalore things. I guess Friendster will stay no longer. HAHAHA. But thanks to ADMIN for always updating our apps. :))

Friendster must not delete these apps.

Never did they know that these apps helps their users to have more presentable profiles. :]

Not secure; not confident of safety or permanence; distrustful; suspicious; apprehensive of danger or loss.


not firm or firmly fixed; likely to fail or give way; "the hinge is insecure"

suggest ko.

i hate friendster when they start filtering the codes i use.

What's the things that keeps you with it?
My file..my designs....huhuuh

What is the thing that you dont like about friendster's doings?
Deleting of app.

Will you leave friendster if it stays like this?

kailangan nang mag isip ng friendster team!
kc marami na ang lumilipat sa FB

Fb alows many apps like FS
but FS is d best mga pare

lalo na kung may HCG!

FS team think first before
you suspend HCG's app

My suggestion:
they should not delete apps cause they're
like losing users of their site :)

- filtering hcg apps again and again...
