DNW Podcast #502: Friendster is back!

A domain investor is bringing Friendster back.

Friendster is back!

Do you remember Friendster? It was one of the earliest social networks, launched ahead of the likes of MySpace and Facebook.

Well, Friendster is back thanks to someone you might know from the domain business.

Mike Carson, who founded and later sold Park.io, was able to acquire this domain and is building a fresh social network on it.

On today’s show, Mike talks regarding why he bought the domain and what he’s building. (Listen to the end to find out how to jump the waitlist of 250,000 who want in.)

We also talk regarding the sale of Park.io and Mike’s latest thoughts on blockchain-based naming systems.

Also: Auction clawbacks, fresh TLD$, and more.
