Friendster (2003) Speaking of making friends on the Internet, along came Friendster. Yes, it's weird to call an existing service a Web fad, but Friendster qualifies. Within two years of launch, Friendster was logging 60 million page views per day--and in fact, got so slow it was nearly unusable. But the idea of being somehow connected to everyone else online proved irresistible, and social networking remains, arguably, still a fad (if an "unproven but wildly popular business model" counts as a fad).

- Friendster is a social gaming site based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was previously known as a social-networking site. Before the site was redesigned, the service allowed users to contact other members, maintain those contacts, and share online content and media with those contacts. The website was also used for dating and discovering new events, bands, and hobbies. Users could share videos, photos, messages and comments with other members via their profile and their network. It was considered one of the original and even the "granddaddy" of social networks. The service became popular in Southeast Asia and is a major site in that region of the world.
