India – Hot Market for Social Networking

It is really interesting to see how social networks have changed users’ perception and habits towards online communication. It all started with small communities, which slowly and steadily expanded over a period of years and ballooned into a full-fledged global interaction space for people to get connected to each other.

Just like American and European markets have shown a healthy response towards this growing trend, Asian markets have come out as a surprise package, generating one of the greatest demands for social networking industry.

Friendster Now Speaks Tagalog

As Friendster continues to fortify its Asian territory by expanding its operations, it is simultaneously seeking to deliver convenience and value addition to its existing members, largely the Tagalog speaking Filipinos. The leading social network in Asia has announced that the Tagalog speaking population can now avail Friendster services in their local language.

With more than 90 million people communicating in Tagalog globally, Friendster certainly seems to bank upon its new feature that will provide its users the ‘feel at home’ factor.

Friendster Fortifies Its Asian Territory

If you think Facebook, MySpace and other social networks will have easy time capturing the Asia Pacific market, think again! Social networking site Friendster is busy fortifying its Asian territory, with about 28 million users in the Asia Pacific region out of 30 million in total. This means around a whopping 93 percent of the Friendster users belong to Asia Pacific only, with the rest contributing to not even 10 percent.
