Facebook For the Family - Kindo.com

Kindo LogoGenerally speaking here at Facebookblogged.com, we talk about applications and developments connected with the world of Facebook. However, today we have been intrigued to break the tradition because of a phenomenon called as kindo.

Why you might think or might be thinking :)

  • Essentially Kindo is a social network ( oh no not again !!)
  • So what makes Kindo different? Well there is one thing as such which separates Kindo from others and it is the word ‘family’. Yep it is social sharing platform for family users. So it lets you discover you long-lost relatives, or more appropriately plan out with everybody together at one place. Great isn’t it ?

    Well if you feel that there is nothing special about it then let me give you a bit of shock as Kindo is available in 11 languages and like my friend told me very soon he’d be working on Hindi translation which would ensure that Kindo creates inroads in the Asian segment.

    Although, there is no dearth of existing social networks like Ancestory.com and more I feel with the effort these guys are putting and with the quality of features that Kindo.com has there’s every chance that it could become the buzzword amongst worldwide families.

    I think like a typical startup it might not be golden hey days yet, but yeah definitely the going looks bright and I’m sure with the talented folks that they have from around the world it could make it big.

    So what are you waiting for? Connect with your family user via Kindo.com now :)

    By the way - Kindo and Facebook have one thing in common. Kindo is destined to be the next Facebook connecting family members exclusively. So for business connections we’ve Linkedin for friendly connections we’d have Facebook and for family connections we’d have Kindo.com

    Facebook Beacon is pain not cash

    People are not trusting Facebook even though it has some latest features and changes! The only danger what the users are facing is that the Facebook is entering into the personal life of the customer without his permission. It sends messages to your friends about your purchase and other online behavior. Whether or not you are logged in to Facebook and whether or not you have approved any data sharing.

    Their faith and trust on the Facebook has been violated. Facebook users are not coming to Facebook thinking of buying things. Because of this lack of commercial intent, most advertisements are likely to be perceived as irrelevant and useless to Facebook users. That will lead to low value to advertisers and low revenues for Facebook. So, Facebook will struggle desperately to get the revenues promised by their $15B valuation, doing things that almost certainly will annoy and anger their users.

    However, Facebook’s success largely is due to benefiting from a fad. People flock to whatever social networking site all their friends are using. It wasn’t always Facebook. MySpace was once considered by some crowds to be the place to be. I wonder if all the annoying things that Facebook starts to do with its advertising will be what make Facebook become uncool. It may be what makes Facebook’s fickle audience want to find some new place to hang, somewhere that doesn’t annoy you or irritate you, and makes Facebook become yesterday’s news.

    Super Inbox

    Super Inbox

    Super Inbox is a new application that has been developed by Andrew Galasetti, and his business partner Vu Tran. Super Inbox is similar to the very popular Super Wall.

    Features:

    Super Inbox allows users to send private messages like the traditional Facebook message system but now users can add colored text, change the font styles, and embed images and videos, plus more. It has been developed because currently Facebook’s messaging is very basic and doesn’t provide these features.

    Why it is developed?

    Many users are choosing to message their friends on Facebook rather than emailing them. Now Super Inbox will give users more email like features.
