No, Friendster no longer exists.
The pioneering social networking platform has definitively ceased its operations, evolving from a popular online hub to a closed service and ultimately dissolving as a company.
Its transition out of existence occurred in two key phases:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Website and all related services closed | End of 2015 |
| Officially ceased to exist as a company | July 1, 2018 |
Friendster was a significant early player in the social media landscape, connecting millions of users and laying foundational groundwork before the rise of platforms that dominate today. Its closure marked the end of an era for many who experienced the initial wave of online social networking.
