Followup: Yes indeed, no one uses Friendster.

In case we didn't know that already.

“The counter to that is, ‘Tell me why you aren’t going to be the next Friendster,’ ” Mr. Sze said. “It’s become the iconic case of failure." ... so badly did Friendster fumble its early lead that, as of last month, it ranked 14th among all social networking sites tracked by comScore Media Metrix, trailing even myYearbook.com, a site started last year by a 16-year-old high school student.

Still, who knows? If Myspace suffers some horrible setback - like a few unfortunate outages, or mass discovery by liberal-leaning Myspacers that the place is owned by the Fox News crew - maybe people will actually log into Friendster again, realize the same features are there on Friendster now, and voila! a second chance. Assuming they even last long enough for that.
