I keep on telling everyone...Opportunities dont go away, the other person took it and this is what happen to Friendster • Friendster didnt buy Facebook when it had the chance - In 2004, Friendsters head honchos actually met up with Mark Zuckerberg and his team in the hopes of buying Facebook. The problem? Abrams says they didnt offer the kind of numbers Zuckerberg wanted. • Friendster allowed Facebook to buy its entire portfolio of social networking patents - Friendster drove a hard bargain when they were the buyers, but were completely complacent when they were the sellers. Then again, Friendster did sell it all off for $40 million at a time when it was all but obsolete. But should they have been that easy? • Friendster didnt sell itself to big sites when it had the chance - Finally, Yahoo!, AOL, and Google actually offered to buy Friendster early on, but Abrams and his team didnt give in. Imagine if Google, in particular, bought Friendster! Google Plus might have been very different – and maybe more successful.
