| Friendster, Inc. today announced that its 70 million users and the over 1 billion Internet-ready mobile phone users globally can now stay in touch anywhere via Friendster's new mobile site, accessible at m.friendster.com from any web-enabled mobile device. The new mobile site is the first in a suite of forthcoming mobile offerings referred to as Friendster Mobile. Using m.friendster.com from any Internet-ready mobile device, Friendster users can retrieve updates on their friends' activities, check messages, review friend requests, post shoutouts, browse photos, browse user profiles and Fan Profiles, search for users by name or email, view birthdays, read horoscopes, post bulletins and much more. This enables more effective communications with friends while away from a computer. m.friendster.com is free for all users. Users are still subject to their particular carrier data plan or wireless Internet service provider plan. |  |
In the coming weeks, the site will be available in multiple languages. Indonesian will be the first additional language, given Friendster's large and highly mobile user base in Indonesia where Friendster has over 8 million registered users and 4 million monthly unique visitors to
Friendster.com, as of March 2008. Shortly, users will be able to also register directly on m.friendster.com, create an account and instantly begin participating in the Friendster global community.
In Asia, where Friendster is the #1 social network, there are currently over 1.2 billion mobile phone users and over 315 million PC-based Internet users. The introduction of Friendster Mobile in Asia will allow hundreds of millions of people who have Internet-ready mobile devices, but may not have their own PC or access to a PC on a regular basis, to use Friendster.
Users should bookmark m.friendster.com on their mobile browser of choice to make it even easier to access their Friendster networks while on the go and tell their friends about how easy it is to stay in touch via Friendster Mobile.
