by Jason Wilk on October 16, 2008
- Hi5, the number 3 social network in the world has announced a 10-15% layoff to its 110 person staff.
- The firings are in HR, QA Testing and Design. Makes sense in a slow economy where everyone is trying to conserve.
- Hi5, which is massive in Southeast Asia is feeling the Asian market downturn with advertisers cutting back.
- In the past months, they have seen their traffic growth cool off to 56M uniques worldwide a month.
