Will Friendster Really Close on May 31, 2011?

It's a Facebook world after all...in the social networking realm, at least. The news you've been hearing about Friendster shutting down is not true. Only Friendster’s social networking services will be discontinued, but the company will retain its name and will be launched again as a social entertainment site. If you have an existing Friendster account, your username and password will remain the same.

Information from Friendster's FAQ page:

QUESTION:

"What will happen to the current version of Friendster and my Friendster account?"

ANSWER:

"We are introducing a new and improved Friendster in the coming weeks that will be focused on entertainment and fun. There will be new features that will leverage on your online activities and will enable you to connect with friends or engage new friends with similar interests.

For example, if you are playing games or listening to music but none of your friends are, your social experience may be limited. Our improved site is designed to create new profiles that allow you to connect differently with people and do things differently than other networking sites. Basically, the new site will complement your existing online presence in other social networking sites.

Your Friendster account will not be deleted when these new features and changes take place. You may continue to login to Friendster using your existing login details. Your list of friends will be preserved, along with your basic profile information, wallet and games.

Stay tuned for the new Friendster's Beta version!"
