Remember Friendster?
Friendster clocked a 40 percent pageview growth rate in May, thanks to growth in countries like Malaysia and the Philippines, as well as recent updates to the site, reports VentureBeat (via comScore).
According to the latest comScore data, Friendster had 24.7 million unique users last month. Though lagging behind MySpace and Facebook, it is holding its own in the sea of second-tier social networks like Piczo and Bebo.
Friendster's pageviews in May, however, grew to a whopping 9 billion - 41 percent more than in April. Though there were several factors for the jump, the big one was a back-end fix that manages users' social networks.
Other new features added in the past two months, fueling the pageview jump, include a classifieds section, a classmate function, a feature that imports address, and a prompt for inviting non-members.
