A certain aged people who used to intensively use internet for networking in their teen ages and are no longer involved that much, but are often embarrassed of having unordinary photos and comments or such kind of material on the once-best networking website, Friendster. If in any case, you’re hoping to keep them safe than you definitely need to be more vigilant as the website has announced that it is soon going to begin a complete makeover for itself. As a part of this makeover, the networking website has declared that it will be deleting all its material after the 31st of May. The developers of Friendster have launched a quick tool which easily exports these photos along with other materials transferable material to the computers or other sites like Flickr accounted by the specific user.

It was about eight years back that this social network had some hype but since after that many people have forgotten their login information or even worse dumped their affiliated email accounts too. It has been announced that all the accounts information on the social website will be completely deleted. The next step of Friendster’s is to completely overhaul the website and this time come-off as an entertainment-based site, somewhat similar to Myspace. However, it is very difficult to picture what’s coming next, if we consider the announcement made by the company, as it remains pretty ambiguous. The company intends to this time lay focus of its new website on the Asian users, which is reasonably considering that MOL Global, a Malaysian company owns the website now.
According to the message of the new website, provided by TechCrunch, it says: “Our improved site is designed to create new profiles that allow you to connect differently with people and do things differently than other networking sites. Basically, the new site will complement your existing online presence in other social networking sites.”
For those people who have not logged in to the website for past few years, it might just be too let to check if they even have anything worth saving or not. However, if you miraculously are still in possession of the email address which you used while joining Friendster, than you’re in luck and can log in, right confirming their identity though an e-mail confirmation method. The good news for plenty is that those users who never unable to delete these potentially embarrassing profiles and were helpless since years ago will be benefited from this. Although, this also comes with the bad news that we will no longer be able to use Friendster for finding the embarrassing old posts and photos of others too.
