The uploading of banners and styling of themes gives it that lovely myspace touch, which I'm sure will be really popular to many people. It's a good movement, one which I will keep track of to see it's progress and watch how it attempts to steal people away from the ever exploiting Facebook!

You can customize your profile with themes and upload your own banner e.g. http://www.blueworld.co.za/foxinni is a good example 2. The network is open - when you publish blogs, videos, groups, events and photos by default the privacy is set to public which lets the media aggregate on your profile but also in the sub areas e.g. http://blogs.blueworld.co.za or http://videos.blueworld.co.za This allows other users to check your media and relate to you.. meeting new people.. etc Were all about making new friends instead of just keeping track of your current mates You can also customize your groups, upload a unique header to the gorup and drag the group boxes around - something Facebook has not done Blueworld is a bit of everything - thunda, facebook, myspace and youtube.. Sure, we have a long way to go but we enjoy the challange NB!! - Were not here to replace Facebook, theres no one online that can. Thanks for the comment Chris and great review Alex

About Facebook cloning – We’ve worked hard to try create our own identity

Obviously any social network that has come out after Facebook can be labeled as a remake seeing they invented and perfected the social networking technology we take for granted today

We’re different from Facebook in quite a few ways

1. You can customize your profile with themes and upload your own banner e.g. http://www.blueworld.co.za/foxinni is a good example

2. The network is open – when you publish blogs, videos, groups, events and photos by default the privacy is set to public which lets the media aggregate on your profile but also in the sub areas e.g.

http://blogs.blueworld.co.za or http://videos.blueworld.co.za

This allows other users to check your media and relate to you.. meeting new people.. etc

Were all about making new friends instead of just keeping track of your current mates

You can also customize your groups, upload a unique header to the gorup and drag the group boxes around – something Facebook has not done

Blueworld is a bit of everything – thunda, facebook, myspace and youtube..

Sure, we have a long way to go but we enjoy the challange

NB!! – Were not here to replace Facebook, theres no one online that can.
