Some great things to note about Friendster’s Developer Progam:
- It’s the only way to reach the largest social networking user base in Asia
- It has a completely open revenue model, ads are allowed anywhere in your app, no revenue share with Friendster
- To propel your app throughout the network, Friendster has implemented viral channels including requestSendMessage and requestShareApp
- There is very low overlap between Friendster’s user base and other social networks, so this is excellent chance to get new users installing your apps globally
