1. Friendster
Friendster is the popular social network before facebook but after facebook came, many users move from friendster to facebook, maybe that because friendster don't have widget chat like facebook so people can't chat directly. and now friendster is not social network anymore, but it is a game online web.
2. Mirc
Mirc is a simple aplication to chat just use the server and go to chat, we just join to a room and go to chat, unfortunately mirc don't have a photo like a facebook, so that why many mirc user move to facebook.
