Friendster has [opened](http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/10-25-2007/0004690040&EDATE=&ref=hypebot.com) its [platform](http://www.friendster.com/developer?ref=hypebot.com) to outside developers for a November 30th launch of the social networking site’s first collection of widgets. They will allow developers to keep 100% of revenue. Recent media attention has focused on Facebook’s rapidly growing 49 million users, but Friendster still claims 50 million users and remains popular in Asia and abroad. MySpace boasts 200 million, but growth appears slowing.
