This project is about the creation of a local social network based on concepts of distributing information in a similar fashion achieved by successful projects such as facebook etc.

The project was founded in late 2008 by Mike Russen and Mare Greaney (Friend to all).

The development work and hardware is funded by "Shoestring-Enterprises".

What are we really about?

If you are reading this then you must be online and will probably agree that the Internet has become so important to our everyday lives that we can hardly think of living without it. During the Internet's very beginning, it has always been important to be able to find information quickly and accurately.

Had it not been for the invention of the Myspace, Facebook and others, then the social network aspect of the Internet would not have become what it had become today. In layman's terms, social networks are like signs and maps, they point us in the right direction for the information about friends and family that we are looking for.

Maire's and Mike's idea is for a local social network starting in Galway, Ireland and that will spread across the rest of Ireland and the world as time goes by.

The site is useful for Irish expats, in fact all nationalities to keep in contact with family and friends and differs from the other sites as it is firstly based on local Irish communities that Maire and Mike hope will spread worldwide and be a useful addition to peoples lives.
