I've had iGoogle for 3 years and have just recently begun getting into the habit of using as my "daily paper" instead of relying on the ever-accurate Facebook =P now they're going to close it? Can they just hire me to update it into the latest hot Web Property?;-(
It depends on how you define "failure" Actually friendster is alive and well in Asia especially in the Philippines. It's actually expanded it's market demographic here to include not only young teens and college students, but also 30 somethings who are trying to re-connect with old aquaintances. It's also functioning as a de facto craig's list which is actually makes sense since you are able to get a better perspective of the poster, aside from just a email address. That being said, it is showing it's age by not having the additional functionality of say a mutliply or yahoo 360. The thing is that there is a minimal North American market for it anymore, so that is why the US press regards it as a "failure". Personally though, if i was in their position at that time, I would have" taken the money and ran ":)
