Friendster, a very popular friend space on the net, will now support Open Social v.7
I got this from their development team…
As a member of the Friendster , I wanted to let you know that we launched support for OpenSocial, v0.7 this week, which further expands the Friendster Developer Program. OpenSocial applications can now be introduced to over 75 million Friendster users around the world; 55 million of those are in Asia . For your convenience, I’ve attached the , so you can read through the details.
Some great things to note about the Friendster Developer Progam and this OpenSocial launch:
- It’s the only way to reach the largest user base in Asia
- It has a completely open revenue model, ads are allowed anywhere in your app, no revenue share with Friendster
- There is very low overlap between Friendster’s user base and other , so this is excellent chance to get new users installing your apps globally
- To propel your app throughout the network, Friendster has implemented viral channels including requestSendMessage and requestShareApp in OpenSocial v0.7

Nice. They also now support traditional Chinese on mobile…
Go to m.friendster.com on your mobile phone and you can change your language setting to Traditional Chinese or any other languages we support on Friendster Mobile. m.friendster.com is also available in Malay, Indonesian, and of course, English!

Friendster isn’t the first thought when you think social, but their community is massive and very deep. If you are developing an Open Social widget I suggest you check out their documentation.
