Are You Leaving Facebook in 2015 ? New Poll on Seen.is #leavingfacebook #byebyefb

Happy New Years!   A new poll for All Facebook Users has been posted on the new, icelandic Social Network site called 'Seen.is'.   It's a clean place for Groups, Forums, Polls, Events, Classifieds and much, much more.

    More than just an alternative to Facebook and other bloated, mega profit, top down, control freakin sites that we've become accustomed to over the past decade.

     It's the opposite of Facebook, in that it does not have any known government contracts;  history of spying or behavioral testing of its users;  almost no advertising;  no collection of personal data;  no tracking of movements, et cetera.

    It's also a great social network model.

 They haven't done much advertising of their own, but it's growth, by word of mouth of our peers who've moved over to Seen.is - has been astounding.

    On November 7, 2014,  Seen.is had about 2,500 Members.    By December 15th, they had over 50,000 New Members.

    And as of today, the last day of 2014, two months later - Seen.is now has over 80,000 New Members!    WOW!

Are You Leaving Facebook in 2015 Poll on Seen.is

   So, we pose the all important, everyone needs to know question, for All Facebook Users to answer, in the form of a New Poll  posted on Seen.is - https://www.seen.is/polls/view/403/leavingfacebook-are-you-leaving-facebook-in-2015

   Yes, you do have to join to SEE it live and take the poll.

 You can see a picture of the poll here on this page, it's very simple, but the answers are important to us all.   If you don't stay with seen.is, for any reason, that's cool, but please join up to take the poll, at a minimum.

  And Seen.is does not CARE what name or nicknames you use to self identify your presence on their networks.... that says alot about their operations, right there.

Your presence there and your content posted is more important to them, then who you 'really are' or what your 'Real Name' or 'Legal Name' is..... a site that is like a breath of fresh air after being online on sites that suffocate us and try to control & track our every move !

 Postscript:   Tip for leaders, organizers, network builders - If you need a very secure, ad free, more private social network site - to use to build up your working groups, teams and more with secure video, voice, text, chat, use your name or group name to Join their sister site called UnSeen.is

Happy New Year 2015 Everyone!

49 Alternatives To Facebook- Unseen.is & Seen.is are Secure Social Sites in Iceland. WE LOVE THEM BOTH! #Leavingfacebook #byebyefb

Day After Election Day - Wednesday, November 5, 2014 - #Leavingfacebook #byebyefb

   A BIG Congratulations to everyone helping us to find New Alternative Social Network and Group Web Sites that are not commercialized and intrusive (i.g. facebook, google+, others).

We're finding LOTS OF ALTERNATIVES where we can feel safe, be more productive and focussed on what really matters to us;  and not be burdened or distracted by all the charming stuff the for profit & control concerns online want us to be, for their benefit, not ours.

We started with a list of 49 Alternatives to Facebook and established our first "primary' anchor site on LifeKnot.com - as our first stop to freedom & privacy our way.

 Then as time passed, we came across the most awesome, ad free, secure site called Unseen.is - located in Iceland. 

   Unseen.is is made for people and groups who wish to connect in a non-intrusive, non-commercial environment with secure email and voice, text, video chat and file

sharing and group building. 

  Unseen has apps, and currently requires most browsers

to be near up to date, and there are some Tor issues (may

have to do with common use of Firefox 27.0+ versions) but it works well, once you have it together.

And take heart, our techs have been working with their techs to hammer out making sure 'technology' on the cutting edge, does not cause us all to drop off or stop using Unseen.

   So, the future looks bright if they listen to us, otherwise we'll go find other secure spots that don't change every 90 days.... like the ones we're all trying to escape from, in the first place. 

           Many of us are tired of having to update every browser, every operating

           system, patches, fixes and new hardware to keep up with basic social 

           network and file sharing sites in non-commercialized, ad free environments.

          Environments that we control, not vice versa.

So we can spend more time using existing technology than we do making burdensome changes and learning or down time that stops our flows and ability to stay connected, on a realiable, consistent basis.   

We and our peers are there on Unseen.is (and many folks on the same paths as we are from around the globe and San Francisco already), in addition to LifeKnot.com

UNSEEN.IS's MORE PUBLIC TWIN SISTER SITE:   SEEN.IS

Seen.is is Unseen's Sister site that is made for more private, but outwardly public presence and social networking online, with ability to set up groups, forums, chat areas and even Classified ads in a no-ads or personal data collecting environment.

      Both are ideal for anyone who wants to be free of burdens, privacy intrusions and

data collection activities on for profit web sites that even have government defense

contracts and resell data to foreign security forces and intelligence and job screening concerns around the world.

Ello is a Real Social Network Site, not a personal data reseller, like Facebook. #leavingfacebook #byebyefb

Ello!  Is a new true Social Network site we found, as we've been going down our list of 49 Facebook Alternatives.    This new site does not care about your personal data, they aren't into tracking your movements online and do not rent or sell personal data about you.

Check this site out as we all go on down the list of 49 Facebook Alternatives we need to continue our social network activities without being spyed on or told what to post or what name we're allowed to use to self identify our individual or group postings with.

It's all about the veracity and value of our messages, not the appearance or name of the messengers.  And being free to speak and share ideas without being tracked like a commodity.

Here's an excerpt from the Ello dot Com's Manifesto:

Screen Shot of Ello.co/manifesto

Your social network is owned by advertisers.

  Every post you share, every friend you make and every link you follow is tracked, recorded and converted into data. 
   Advertisers buy your data so they can show you more ads.   You are the product that’s bought and sold.

We believe there is a better way.

We believe in audacity.    We believe in beauty, simplicity and transparency.

We believe that the people who make things and the people who use them should be in partnership.

We believe a social network can be a tool for empowerment. Not a tool to deceive, coerce and manipulate — but a place to connect, create and celebrate life.

You are not a product.

 

Awesome!   Check them out here!    https://ello.co/manifesto

Note:  Until we pick our final not for profit or privacy invading social network sites to replace our facebook page(s),  you can find us on on our first anchor site at Lifeknot.com. 

As we explore the 49 more alternatives, we'll post new alternatives tested at our lifeknot.com site (shown here in the picture).

 We encourage EVERYONE to get a primary base site there, as we move onto new alternatives to Facebook.
