Friendio - The Facebook Alternative

Dec. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Some describe it as the newest ‘Facebook Alternative’ or ‘the world’s social network for profile privacy’.  Friendio is undeniably growing fast and is now officially the only social network in the world that does not put ads all over your pages or expose your profile to the public the moment you sign-up. The news comes as its social circles platform jumps in popularity amidst many upcoming 2012 changes in other social networks.

The site combines the familiar user interface people love with features you just don't have everywhere else. Users can sign up for the site and enjoy instant privacy.  No person can view a profile unless they are a friend, and minors under 18 years of age can't change that setting, keeping kids safer.  Themes, or layouts as they call them, can be changed with a few clicks, or even customized with backgrounds and CSS.  People get to make the site their way, now everybody has a choice. It's the new way to connect with friends & family in 2012.

Each month the site’s features have grown since it left its beta version behind in April 2011, and officially launched the new network earlier this month.  Some tests inside Google resulted in the ability to view a person's name and profile photo, but nothing else.  That's the kind of privacy many people want, and are now finding with Friendio.  Recent additions to the site are new movie previews which help people make plans with ease, and hot new music artists that most of us have never even heard of yet.  In addition, people can add music to their profile with a click, similar to the older MySpace platform where people upload songs that auto-play each time their profile is viewed.

Friendio is all about personal expression with features many have been asking for and now they're here.  There have always been other social networks available to anybody but leaving the world's largest social network for another alternative never worked out for most people, until now.  They did it right.

For those who have not yet tried it, get moving.  There's a new network on the horizon and it's booming. For your privacy or last minute New Year’s resolution, visit http://www.friend.io to get started with your new way to get social in 2012 and beyond.
