Presently 1 in 4 internet users participate in a social network. Some of the possible reasons why 75 percent of internet users have not joined is because of the folowing reasons: they think social networking is just for teenagers and young adults; it is unsafe in regards to their personal information; only people that join are those looking for someone to date; it is too complicated and they do not understand how it works and some have been offended by the language, videos and pictures.
If you are looking for a social networking site that addresses the majority of these concerns and is safe for your friends and family, then you should check out this new social newtork site http://www.our-social.com
This website has a word filter that prevents members from being exposed to profanity and lewd or sexual comments - as well as racial slurs and other hate speech. To further ensure that the site remains clear of offensive material and is safe for all ages, all pictures, video and audio clips go through an approval process – which takes places within 12 hours of submission - before they are posted. In addition, Our-Social discourages members from ever publicly displaying information such as their e-mail address and full name.
This website also has games and a forum. The forum is moderated and has many safety features.
For those of you who are new to social networking and are confused as to how to create a personal page, this site is very user friendly. The members have their own account pages, which serve as personalized control panels, where users can manage all aspects of their account. Management activities include selecting a variety of custom design profile pages, setting privacy levels for the account, creating a blog, checking mail, inviting friends to join, sending out friendship requests, a calendar and creating numerous picture, video and audio albums.
