Pinoys celebrate Friendster Day
MANILA, Philippines - Friendster, Inc., a top 25 global website based on traffic, recently celebrated the first “Pinoy Friendster Day” at SM Mall of Asia to thank Friendster fans for their support over the past seven years.
More than 7,000 Friendster members joined the festivities making the event the largest offline global gathering of Friendster users in the company’s history.
Hosted by Johnny Chase, Lorraine Quiche and Zip Cody of Max FM, the “Pinoy Friendster Day” featured live performances by Pedicab, Paraluman, 6 Cycle Mind, Callalily, Rico Blanco and hip-hop artist Young JV; and fun activities such as speed-dating and style makeovers.
Some attendees had a field day posting their messages on the Friendster Shout-Out graffiti board, while others shot their own music videos and were given personal DVD copies of their performances as tokens.
“Friendster would like to thank those who attended the event, those who participated online, and our sponsors,” says Ben Dunn, Friendster Philippines VP and global head of brand experience.
“Bringing our users together offline is a natural extension of what Friendster offers users online and is a great example of how we’re building a fun, interactive community. We’re excited to be planning future events here in the Philippines and similar events throughout Southeast Asia,” he adds.
