That’s a bullsh*t press release. There is no partnership. Integrating the Google search feature can be accomplished by any webmaster.
Friendster employed the Google search feature on their own initiative because they earn every time a visitor uses the same.
And notice how the Google search is integrated in Friendster’s pages. It’s placed in such a way that it misleads users. Users are led to believe that they are searching for friends in Friendster’s pages when in fact, they will be searching for contact details through Google’s search engine.
Users get frustrated because they have to redo the search.
And Friendster laughs its way to the bank.
