More than a decade after going dark, social networking site Friendster has returned with an aim to turn the social media landscape on its head. Relaunched as a mobile app in April, it retains some core elements of social media platforms, enabling users to socialise within their existing circle of friends and share details of their life through photos, profiles and interests. Unlike these services, however, Friendster 2.0 promises “no ads, no algorithms, no spam” and no sharing of user data.The aim of the new app, said new owner and entrepreneur Mike Carson, is to help you stay connected to real-life friends. Currently available for free on iOS, it does not suggest profiles of people you neither know nor follow online. What is your experience with Friendster ?
