Philippine Traveler | Friendster Philippines

One of the more popular sites among todays youth in the Philippines - Frienster. Friendster in the Philippines has become nothing short of a phenomenon, and this is probably due to the fact that Filipinos love to interact, and find others with common interests and backgrounds.

Almost everyone has a friendster account, regarless of age, gender or profession. Men, women, call center agent or corporate manager, friendster has become a playground for Filipinos. Friendster started around 3 to 4 years ago and still continues to thrive up to today. What makes Friendster different from many similar friends or dating service on the net is that it is free. Match.com and friendfinder.com are similar sites, but to get quality service one has to pay a monthly fee. Had this happened with Friendster, it wouldn't have taken off the way it has in the Philippines. Most Filipinos are hesitant in using their credit cards online, or do not have a credit card at all.

Friendster has become a cultural thing in today's Filipino youth. Countless relationships have been built, and yes, broken by this incredible service. With it continuing to provide more and more features such as Classifide ads (Pusit? - squid?, I don't know how they derived the name), and a fully customizable page, Friendster will continue to thrive to satisfy our need to be connected.
