Tan’s online payment systems business will buy 100 percent of Friendster through an affiliate company, according to a joint statement Thursday as stated in yahoo finance. I am looking forward of seeing a better Friendster under it’s new management.

The two companies will be combined so Tan’s business empire can sell content such as games, movies, music and other products to Friendster’s 115 million members, using his company’s electronic payments system. Tan’s businesses include retail franchises in Southeast Asia such as Starbucks, 7-Eleven, Borders, Krispy Kreme, and Wendy’s.

The price for Friendster wasn’t disclosed but the combined entity will have annual revenue of about $110 million.

“We are creating a unique company that will be well positioned to provide content to a huge, regional user base here in Southeast Asia,” the statement said.

The amount was not disclosed, So any suggestion to the new friendster layout or feature ?
