In some countries, Friendster was extremely popular before Facebook! In others, there were other dominant social networks, like Orkut. Facebook was the first to dominate in all countries.

> In others, there were other dominant social networks

I remember Hi5 in Latin America and India, Hyves in the Netherlands, Orkut in Brazil, VK in Russia, StudyVZ in Germany, Tuenti in Spain. Finland and Sweden had a popular photo log websitr but I can't remember its name.

>> MySpace was overtaken by Friendster

> Did that ever happen?

No, it didn't. Friendster was older than MySpace.

Age isn't relevant. Friendster might've come out before MySpace but not become a dominant network until after MySpace had become dominant.

Not saying that's what happened, I've barely heard the name Friendster before.

My peer group was on Friendster first then MySpace

I got it backwards. :-(
