Social networking site oversees expansion | | 2008/05/19 | | Social networking site Friendster, which claims to be the eighth largest website in the world based on traffic, is targeting the expansive Asian market with the introduction of Vietnamese under its umbrella of user languages.
The company has announced the move to attract the estimated 18 million internet users in Vietnam.
Friendster is most popular in the Asian region, where members use the site to find lost friends, speak with family, share photos and send messages.
Friendster's vice president of global marketing David Jones commented: Since Friendster is the number one social network in all of Asia and has more than twice the users of any other social network in Asia, the Friendster social networking experience clearly resonates with its 50 million users across Asia."
Some 67 per cent of the world's internet users are now able to access Friendster in their spoken language with English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Spanish all being supported.
