This story about Friendster's sales saga is crazy. I don't know whether to believe it. Five million bucks for a site with 8-9 million monthly uniques? I can see Viacom not wanting to buy it, but someone would certainly pay a lot more than that, wouldn't they?I bet Jonathan Abrams is now kicking himself for not taking the millions that google reportedly offered him before he took VC investment. And if he's not kicking himself, I'd like to offer my right foot.

In addition, Friendster needs to be updated with a more "interactive features". For one, you cannot possibly know who has logged in at the moment. You cannot even have the chance to ever chat with the person. Friendster has been so passive with this one. I guess they should change some things to really get things really working.

Friendster as a social site is pretty much dead without some drastic change, and in that I mean a complete change in focus/market.
