Long before MySpace and Facebook, there was Friendster. Friendster was launched on March 22, 2002 in California, USA, by Jonathan Abrams. The name Friendster is just a portmanteau of "friend" and Napster.

Friendster was one of the most popular networking sites in the Philippines. Too popular, in fact, that at one point in 2004, 50% of Friendster's traffic was coming from the Philippines. In this video, you'll learn the impact of this sudden surge of users. Here's what else you'll learn:

— The history of Friendster
— The early days of Friendster
— What went wrong that caused Friendster's decline
— Google offered to acquire Friendster
— Friendster offered to acquire Facebook
— Facebook used Friendster's rise and fall as a cautionary tale of what it shouldn't do
