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.
