Friendster Vs. Facebook


Ever wonder why Facebook is now popular than Friendster?
Quality not Quantity- Back in Friendster times, the main goal was just to get as many friends a s possible: We just wanted to show the world that we have a second, third, fourth, fifth up to the ninth with previous accounts that reached the limit for the number of friends. In Facebook, we treasure each contact and know all th people in our life. We learned from Friendster that is quality over quantity.
                Newsfeed self control- In freindster, flooding the bulletin board is acceptable. But do not we hate flooding? In facebook, flooding the newsfeed is like humiliating yourself. It just show how undisciplined you are.
                Quiz Interface- Friendster surveys and quizzes require you to open all others posts and pages to know if they have the same answer/ results. Facebook surveys and quizzes allow you to click and get results in second. You can even easily see the headshots of friends with the same results as mine.
                Status update history- facebook allow you to constantly update status and keep track pf previous status updates. In Friendster, where shall we put it? In shout outs? Well sadly shout out, one erased, is gone forever where not a single trace is available. Sharing images and video- You can easily share and make your friends know that you have posted a new picture, video, you commented on so forth and so on. Live chat- Facebook lets you see your friends who are online and who are not while friendster  does not. Less spam- Friendster inboxes are flooded by spam messages that are really not meant personally for us.
Now which one’s better? Facebook or Friendster?
