SOCIAL Notworking sight Friendster has packed its bags and shifted its operations to Australia where it is completely unknown.

The outfit has nearly 100 million registered users, mostly in Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, but few down under. However Richard Kimber, the boss of the site, seems to think it is better to work from Oz. At the moment it is unclear if Friendster is making money but we would have thought a move to one of the asian companies that uses the site would be cheaper. We guess the surfing is better in Oz. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
