Despite Facebook's overwhelming popularity in the world, there are many users that feel Facebook has become too large and is not as personalized as it was originally designed to be. It is in fact tough on Facebook to pick and choose amongst your friends as to who you would like to have view any information that you post on Facebook. Yes, there is the tedious option of going through ones privacy settings to select who you would like to have view certains items on your profile, but who has time to devote to that process? In addition Facebook has also at times become a network of acquaintances with many users "friends" not necessarily falling into that category. I myself can relate to this ideology, because I know for a fact that I can scan through my Facebook and find at least a handful of "friends" that I have neither met nor seen in my entire life.
Therefore these smaller social sites allow their users to be able to keep a tighter niche of friends, because many of them actually cap the number of friends one can have. In doing so users can feel more comfortable posting pictures and status updates without the fear of one of their friends other friends seeing their information through a community wall. One of these sites, Shizzlr, also has a unique social feature in that when a group is created, the server will actually compile a list of upcoming events from Yelp, Google and Facebook for this social circle group of close friends to discuss and decide which event they would like to attend.
I will be highlighting many of these sites this week, because each site has its own unique touch and social connectivity features.
Enjoy!
