It is commonly reported that there is a huge increase in the numbers of people using Social Network sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Lesser known is that there are hundreds if not thousands of other websites that operate on similar principles and maybe use a specialist subject as a base Social Networks can be found for people with all sorts of specialist interests. If you are a fisherman, parrot trainer or a violinist I am sure you can find a site to talk about your subject with like minded people.
http://www.thebackofthenet.com is a website that gives football fans the chance to idolise their team with their own selection of videos, music , articles and even their own blog. They can invite their friends to join their group ,set quizzes and polls open a forum and even their own private chat room. They can personalise their own page. This is a great site which has hidden depths not obvious from the home page.
For local football clubs or kids football clubs with no site or static website there is a great opportunity here to improve club communication. A group can be opened for the club where club pictures , videos , messages, fixtures, match reports etc. can be posted instantly. Club meetings could even be held in the clubs own private chat room, an absolute Godsend if you are struggling to get committee members together.
The great thing with this type of site is that the user can create their own experience , enhance friendships or form new ones. The tools are all there to have great fun with other football fanatics . I suggest if you haven't tried this type of site try this one and invite your friends so you can interact . Best of all its absolutely free
