"Join Friendster Today - Login with Facebook" I'd like to have been in the room when that discussion took place.

I'm at work and my company's network blocks Social Networking sites. Is this a joke? Does it really allow you to login in Facebook?

Yes. It is the most prominent method of joining that they display on the landing page. This is real.

Edit: Granted, they relaunched it as a social gaming site, so that signup method makes a bit more sense.

MySpace has the same thing.

And so it does. I haven't had reason to look at MySpace for a goodly while until now.

So, they lost the social graph game and now focus on the popular social game market. It's what zynga failed to do until now. There's huge audience and the monetization is guaranteed if they enroll virtual currency. if they can prove they can gain traction and provide a platform that is easy to convert to, I'm game.
