Asia? You came a few years to late... Friendster was US focused, at least until it lost. Then the probably pivoted, but I wrote about the first phase of Friendster (the one everyone in US remembers who was active online in early 2000s).

Hmm. It peaked in Asia with most users in Asia operating from Asia. You don't think the Asian focus could affect its marketing strategy for Americans? Facebook's college angle worked really well after MySpace's express yourself in cluttered pages worked before that. Im not sure Friendster understood our userbase enough to keep it.
