1 | Philippines: ‘Goodbye Friendster’ | Filipina: ‘Veloma Friendster’ |
2 | The news that pioneer social networking site Friendster.com is headed towards a major overhaul in a few months' time grabbed headlines and became a trending topic amongst Filipino netizens. | Lasa nahazo lohateny sy fironan-dresaky ny mpisera Filipiana ny vaovao nilaza fa hanao fanavaozana lehibe ny mpitari-dalana tamin'ny valan-tserasera Friendster.com ao anatin'ny volana vitsivitsy. |
3 | And it shouldn't be a surprise as the Philippines once became famous for being a Friendster.com nation. | Ary tsy tokony hahagaga izany rehefa fantatra fa nalaza ho firenen'ny Friendster.com i Filipina. |
4 | Well that was back in 2003 to 2007 and before Facebook, Twitter and other more popular social networking sites today came to the scene. | Izany no nitranga tanelanelan'ny taona 2003 sy 2007 nialoha ny nivoahan'ny valantserasera malaza kokoa tahaka ny Facebook, Twitter ary ny hafa. |
5 | Instead of shock, disbelief and even resistance to the news that their once favorite social networking site was about to suffer some sort of demise, virtually all Filipinos bloggers and netizens simply re-echoed the message from the Friendster team that users who value their content or data on the site should begin exporting it before everything else is wiped out after May 31. | Raha tokony ho hatairana, tsy finoana ary fanoherana anaty aza no nitranga tamin'ny fandrenesana fa karazany miala ilany ny valantserasera ankafiziny indrindra, dia ny nampanako ny hafatra avy amin'ny ekipan'ny Friendster miangavy ny hamindra ny votoaty an-toeran-kafa mialoha ny hamafana ny ambiny rehetra amin'ny 31 mey ihany no nataon'ny mpisera Filipiana. |
6 | However, there's still a hint of sadness and nostalgia amongst them. | Na izany aza dia misy sombin'alahelo sy embona ihany ao amin'izy ireo. |
7 | Roy had the impression that Friendster has given up against the reigning king of social networking media Facebook: | Roy dia mahatsapa fa nanaiky resy ny Friendster raha hifaninana amin'ny mpanjakan'ny valantserasera Facebook: |
8 | So, do you think Friendster has accepted its fate and would no longer want to go head-to-head with Facebook? | Izany hoe mieritreritra ve ianao fa nanaiky ny lahatra ny Friendster ka tsy hifanandrina intsony amin'ny Facebook? |
9 | Oh well, thank you very much Friendster. | Oh , misaotra indrindra Friendster. |
10 | We do have good memories together. | Fahatsiarovana nahafinaritra ny fiarahana. |
11 | Carlo Dimaandal had a bittersweet moment upon learning of the news that Friendster is about to do a reboot: | Carlo Dimaandal dia nanembona ny fotoana nahafinaritra raha nahita ny vaovao nilaza fa hanao fiaingana vaovao tanteraka ny Friendster: |
12 | Friendster is ditching some of its social media functionalities in favor of a more entertainment-based platform. | Nanaisotra ny fikirakirana mahavalantserasera azy sasany ny Friendster mba hironana bebe kokoa amin'ny sehatra fialamboly. |
13 | Some people really don't care. | Tsy miraharaha izany mihitsy ny sasany. |
14 | But for the nostalgia freak like me, there is an option to download user data (tulad nung mga testi na ipinagmakaawa mo pa! :) ) or export them to other services. | Saingy ho an'ny tia fahatsiarovana tahaka ahy, misy ny safidy hisintonana antsera ny mombamomba ny mpisera (tulad nung mga testi na ipinagmakaawa mo pa! ) na mamindra azy ho amina tolotra (servisy) hafa. |
15 | This is where I saw what I think was a “tampo” moment. | Teo no nahitako fa fotoana “tampo” [tetezamita?]izao . |
16 | Pinoy Social Media gave a brief history of how Friendster struck it big with Filipinos back in its hey day with some statistics saying that the Philippines was the number one on the list of top 15 countries accessing Friendster back in 2008. | Pinoy Social Media dia nanome ny tantara fohy ny fomba nahazoan'ny Friendster ny fon'ny Filipiana raha nitodika ny fotoam-pifaliana sy nijerena ny antontanisa nilaza fa Filipina no voalohan-daharana tamin'ny firenena 15 mpitsidika Friendster hatramin'ny 2008. |
17 | However, all that changed when in just a year, the country converted to Facebook. | Saingy, niova tanteraka izany toe-javatra izany tao anatin'ny herintaona monja rehefa nirona ho any amin'ny Facebook ny firenena. |
18 | So it's time to logon one last time to Friendster (assuming you still remember your password), reminisce using this social network, look at your photos, testimonials and comments from several years ago, download everything for archive and bid farewell for now to our Social Media friend, Friendster. | Izany hoe izao no fotoana hidirana faraparany amin'ny Friendster (raha mahatadidy ny tenimiafina ianao), mitadidy ny fampisana ilay valantserasera, mijery ny sarinao, fijoroana vavolombelona sy ny resaka nifanaovana taona maro lasa izay, Misintona ny rehetra hatao tahiry ary manao veloma ilay valantserasera namana, Friendster. |
19 | For Grace Abonillo, the nostalgia wasn't just because of socializing online via Friendster, it was the origins of her addiction to social networking sites: | Ho an'i Grace Abonillo, ny fahatsiarovana dia tsy noho fiaramonina an-tserasera tamin'ny alalan'ny Friendster ihany, fa io no niandohan'ny fiakinandohany tamin'ny sehatra valantserasera isan-karazany: |
20 | Few days ago, I read this news that Friendster will come to an end. | Andro vitsy lasa izay, henoko ny vaovao fa tonga eo amin'ny fenitra farany ny Friendster. |
21 | I didn't mind at all, for I am no longer using it since 2007. | Tsy nampaninona ahy ilay izy satria tsy nampiasa azy intsony aho hatramin'ny 2007. |
22 | But I came to a realization that it is where it all began, my addiction to social networking sites. | Saingy tsapako kosa fa tao ilay izy no nanomboka, ny fiakinandohako tamin'ny vohikalan'ny valantserasera. |
23 | First it was friendster.com, then multiply.com and then came facebook. | Tamin'ny voalohany friendster.com, dia multiply.com ary avy eo ny facebook. |
24 | I started using FS(Friendster) when I was in college, circa 2002. | Nanomboka nampiasa ny FS(Friendster) aho tamin'izaho tany amin'ny kolejy nanodidina ny 2002 teo ho eo. |
25 | Became an addicted user with lots of updates everyday. | Dia niondana amin'izay fa nannoratra foana isan'andro. |
26 | Suddenly, I just get tired of it, and started using multiply and facebook in the early 2003 or 2004. | Tampoka teo, leo aho, dia nampiasa multiply sy facebook tamin'ny fiandohan'ny taona 2003 na 2004. |
27 | But facebook was so complicated to use then, that's why I stuck with multiply. | Saingy sarotra ny nampiasa ny facebook hany ka nionona tamin'ny multiply aho. |
28 | Pepe Alas sums up the nostalgia in an upbeat mood where he succinctly describes why the news of Friendster's reboot: | Nofehezin'i Pepe Alas ny tamim-pifaliana ny tsiahy izay nilazany ny fiaingana vaovaon'ny Friendster indray: |
29 | Many Friendster-turned-Facebook addicts (like me!) have been expecting this for a long time. | Hefa nanampo azy ity hatry ny ela ny mpiondana Friendster-nivadika-Facebook (tahaka ahy!). |
30 | But this news is still a shocker, for Friendster is already a part of Filipino pop culture. | Saingy mbola nampiotana hatrany ilay vaovao, satria efa karazany kolontsaim-bahoaka Filipiana manko ny Friendster. |
31 | Other than that, the Philippines is Friendster's largest market. | Ankoatra izay, Filipina no tsenan'ny Friendster lehibe indrindra. |
32 | It was good while it lasted. | Tsara iny fa nifarana. |
33 | Rico at Technograph already looks ahead and wonders what the future holds for Friendster: | Rico at Technograph indray nanatrika ny hoavy ka naminavina ny ampitso miandry ny Friendster: |
34 | What exactly does Friendster mean by “social entertainment”? When I accidentally visited the Friendster login page while writing about the Friendster profile downloader, I noticed that the login was surrounded by advertisements for Friendster's different games. | Inona marina moa ny tena tian'ny Friendster lazaina amin'ny hoe “fialamboly sosialy”? raha nitsidika tsinahy ny takelaka fampidirana tenimiafina Friendster aho hanoratra momba ny fisintonana ny mombamomba ny tena ao amin'ny Friendster, nahamarika aho fa feno dokambarotra momba ny kilalao an-tserasera samihafa an'ny Friendster aho. |
35 | Does this mean that the original social network will now present itself as an online gaming portal? | Midika ve izany fa ilay valantserasera teo aloha dia hivadika ho vavahadin-tseraseran-dalao? |
36 | So here it is, the passing of another era in Philippine Internet history, the demise of Friendster, once the only social networking site Filipinos knew. | Izay ary no izy, niova vanim-potoana ny tntaran'ny aterineto ao Filipana, nametra-pialana ny Friendster, izay hany valantserasera tokana fantatry ny Filipiana taloha. |
