I'm not sure your age (nor asking lol) but I remember them trying the whole sports thing when I was growing up during Bush II because there was a whole big panic over having just put UFC on cable and "what if" yada yada, but it never got legs pre-everything but Myspace/friendster

Man, back in the dark ages at friendster dot com, Outlook going down meant I kicked a server, and maybe had to drive from Mountain View to Sunnyvale if it was REALLY bad. It's way easier to pay one surly guy trying to quit nicotine and caffeine than Big Faceless Error Message.

i honestly can't imagine what it must be like nip-deep in slopcode in a department where all your most senior devs cut their teeth adding features to Friendster For Cats at a time when everyone believed "add another ec2 instance" was always more reasonable than "optimize a hot path"

oh! you might like this story. When Facebook was just newly open to the public, in that MySpace/Friendster time, I became enamored of the idea of creating an international consortium & society of Joshes Dobbin. There was a rugby player in the UK, a random teenager & a few others. Since I was the...

"For what to we live but to make ghosts of social media foes to live rent-free in our heads & hassle us in our dotage & our own invective rings through the corridors of their minds while they chop onions?" Mr. B advising Lydia on Tik-Tok, while savoring a well-turned phase on Friendster, probably.

I’m doing a crossword from 2008. One of the clues is “Alternative to Friendster or MySpace”. Facebook of course, but my goodness, what an innocent time, comparatively.

Anyone remember Friendster? OG founder restarted it. No business model as of yet. I made a profile: friendster.com/profile/f8e3...

Also a deserved shout out to Friendster.
Very much looking forward to the Atlantic article about how Bluesky wound up being the most directionally correct political community on the Internet.

Hi, neither bluesky, nor X, nor Friendster, nor any other social media enclave speaks for the population at large. The population at large occasionally shifts into alignment with them due to the overall, often irrational, context. Have a good day

We should think of social media as a temporary phenomenon. 15 years ago we had Gen 1 social media networks like MySpace, Foursquare, and Friendster that were appealing at first, but lost their shine. As users abandon them, network effects decrease and the value of the network drops.

If you think that doesn’t matter or doesn’t affect you, consider how TikTok got sold. Ask your elder millennials what it was like to lose their favorite sites and to migrate from MySpace and Friendster to Orkut and Tumblr. Ask the Xennials about Xanga and Geocities.
