Friendster V.2?

by Mark Evans on July 24th, 2006

Toronto-native Jonathan Abrams is taking another crack at the social networking market with Socialzr, a San Francisco-based start-up that has yet to pull covers back on its plans. Socializr recently raised another $1-million in private equity, according to Mashable! Abrams, who has no lack of self confidence, is best known for creating Friendster, which was among the first social networking sites. While Friendster is still around - and apparently big in Asia - its first-mover advantage has not allowed it to keep up with MySpace and Facebook.
