Pinoys: We Want Friendster and Text Heaven
Someone told me that 2 million of the 6 million Friendsters on Friendster are Filipinos. It could be more.
Well, take that and add our legendary texting prowess and you've got an excellent Friendster beta market for its new mobile SMS product.
Friendster will soon launch its first mobile service in the Philippines to test the concept of merging the biggest online social networking service with mobile phone technology, an executive told INQ7.net.Read here.After six months of negotiations, Friendster has picked local mobile phone content provider Entertainment Gateway Group (EGG) to roll out the social networking service in the country, according to Joe Hurd, director of international business development of Friendster.
The Friendster mobile service will soon be available on the networks of three mobile phone operators, namely Smart Communications, Globe Telecom and Sun Cellular.

Somehow browsing your current Friendster friend list on a mobile phone doesn't sound too usable. Nevermind the download times. I wonder what service will they be rolling out.
