Friendster has been an open site since August 2006 when it first began allowing widgets and content to be embedded in user profile pages through its developer program. [38] In 2007, roughly 40% of Friendster's users had widgets on their profiles.
The profile is your home base on Friendster. It's also your face to the Friendster world. Here you can manage your account, make connections and customize the information friends (or all members, depending on your settings) can see about you. If you get lost, click the Home tab in the blue navigation bar at the top of the page to bring you back ...

On Monday, June 27, Friendster switched DNS servers, pointing at their new site. However, the old site and data remain available on the old servers, if you know where to look. NOTE:It is strongly recommended that you use a local caching DNS server, such as dnscache, dnsmasq, or bind. This reduces the DNS load on your internet connection, allows DNS...

Automating the process
(This is all unix-only; it won't work in Windows.) 1. Create a Friendster account 2. Download the script; name it 'bff.sh'. 3. In the directory that you put the bff.sh, make a username.txt file that has your Friendster e-mail address as the text in it 4. In the directory that you put the bff.sh, make a password.txt file that has your Friendster password as the text in it. 5. Choose your profile range. 6. Edit that section to say what range you'll do. 7. On the command line, type (with your ra...
XML friend lists
Also on the wiki: a script that uses the Friendster API to download friends lists. This has the advantage that you can get the ids of all friends of a user as one XML file, which is a lot faster than the bff method. See getfriends.shon Github.
Content on Friendster seems to be primarily organized by the id number of the users, which were sequentially assigned starting at 1. This will make it fairly easy for wget to scrape the site and for us to break it up into convenient work units. The main components we need to scrape are the profile pages, photo albums and blogs, but there may be oth...
We're going to break up the user ids into ranges and let individuals claim a range to download. Use this table to mark your territory: We recommend claiming 100k at a time, because that keeps things neat and tidy, both in this table and on your computer. However, it seems that the number of photographs per profile increased quite a bit during the e...
Running on Mac OS X
Summary:To run on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard), or 10.6 Server, you need to install wget, bash 4.0+, and a more recent expr. Description:In MacPorts, this can be done through installing packages wget, bash, and coreutils (for gexpr), then changing the top lines in all .sh files from the ArchiveTeam-friendster-scrape git package to !#/opt/local/bin/bash, and replacing all instances of 'expr' with 'gexpr'. Then run chunky.sh as normal on a range and declare victory. Problem Deta...
More on the missing image problem
We've just discovered the versions of bff.sh that we've been using don't grab the right things on some systems. Specifically, we know that older versions of grep (i.e. 2.5.4) don't match some urls as intended. To test whether your files have been downloading correctly, run ./bff.sh 115288. If you end up with one .jpg instead of 8 (hereis what you should end up with), you need to upgrade your version of bff.sh before continuing. The current version solves the issue. We're figuring out what to...
More on the shoutout page problem
There was an error in the section downloading the shoutoutstream pages, (bff.sh versions < 12). For profiles with more than one shoutoutstream page, the first page was downloaded several times. shoutout_1.html, shoutout_2.htmletc. all contained the first page of messages. This problem was fixed in the version 12 of the script. This only affects profiles with more than one shoutout page. This is a small percentage of the profiles (7 out of the 50,000 profiles in my collection). They can be fou...
