- Now 70 Million Friendster Users Worldwide Can Stay in Touch Anytime,
Anywhere

Friendster, Inc. (http://www.friendster.com), the 8th largest website in
the world and the #1 social network in Asia, today announced that its 70
million users and the over 1 billion Internet-ready mobile phone users
globally can now stay in touch anywhere via Friendster's new mobile site,
accessible at m.friendster.com from any web-enabled mobile device. The new
mobile site is the first in a suite of forthcoming mobile offerings referred
to as Friendster Mobile.

Using m.friendster.com from any Internet-ready mobile device, Friendster
users can retrieve updates on their friends' activities, check messages,
review friend requests, post shoutouts, browse photos, browse user profiles
and Fan Profiles, search for users by name or email, view birthdays, read
horoscopes, post bulletins and much more. This enables more effective
communications with friends while away from a computer.

m.friendster.com is free for all users. Users are still subject to their
particular carrier data plan or wireless Internet service provider plan.

In the coming weeks, the site will be available in multiple languages.
Indonesian will be the first additional language, given Friendster's large
and highly mobile user base in Indonesia where Friendster has over 8 million
registered users and 4 million monthly unique visitors to Friendster.com, as
of March 2008. Shortly, users will be able to also register directly on
m.friendster.com, create an account and instantly begin participating in the
Friendster global community.

In Asia, where Friendster is the #1 social network, there are currently
over 1.2 billion mobile phone users and over 315 million PC-based Internet
users. The introduction of Friendster Mobile in Asia will allow hundreds of
millions of people who have Internet-ready mobile devices, but may not have
their own PC or access to a PC on a regular basis, to use Friendster.

"As the 8th largest website in the world, Friendster is pleased to offer
our 70 million users around the globe the opportunity to access Friendster
from their mobile phones," said David Jones, vice president of global
marketing for Friendster. "Our users have asked for a mobile site that makes
staying in touch with friends while on the go even easier. We've taken our
most popular core social networking features and made them easy to use via
mobile devices at m.friendster.com," he said.
