Christian facebook
style web sites
Is there a college
networking site or 'Facebook' type service or website for Christians?
Networking
sites -what are they and what is facebook?
Dating sites are soon becoming a thing of the past. Now what are
called 'networking' sites are the new singles and dating services
- since networking and friendships are of cource the best way
to meet people! The evolution of the 'friendster' style website
has been amazing to watch. It started at the dawn of the Internet
with basic singles services that costa fotune to join and were
clunky to use. Slowly but surely, these sites are more and more
becoming free services - chosing to make their cash from selling
vast databases, online advertising space and other merchandise
to their users. So much so that many dating services - although
they will always have their place - are now seriously competing
with social grad network sites and college friendfinder services.
What's
the Facebook site?
Here's the story of Facebook. I'd never heard of the site to be
honest. The front page of the website is so basic it's not true
and gives absolutely no indication of the size of the database
it contains. Facebook.com launched its website 2005. The founder
being a 21 year old guy by the name of Zuckerberg. Face book is
reportedly in a short space of time, the most popular web site
to hit the college campus since Napster came along and blew everyone
away!
Is Facebook a good site for Christians?
The site is not generally geared towards Christians by any stretch
as you would expect. It does contain very candid photos, cheeky
profiles, booty shots and all sorts of college mayhem you would
expect from any 21-25 year old - Christian or not!:) But unlike
most social networks like Friendster and MySpace, it's exclusively
for academia - precisely how students want it. Face book has seven
million members from 2100 universities and 22000 high schools.
Facebook.com is now the seventh most -trafficked site on the Internet
and valued at over 1 billion dollars. Becaue users use their .edu
mail addresses, there's an inherent built-in pressure to be real
- separating it from other sites.
If you are looking for Christian networking
