Get Sharing - Friends, music, video, blogs, forums, instant messaging and more

If you enjoy sharing with friends through social networking sites, contributing to forums and wikis and feeling a sense of community online then you are going to love Get Sharing.

Based in Leeds, UK, and launched in October 2006, Get Sharing is a Social Networking site with many features that you already know - blogs, friends, videos, music, messaging, photos and much, much more.

But we're bringing a new community focus to Social Networking. We like to think of ourselves as a Genuine Expression of Online Community. And you've got an awful lot to contribute!

Get Sharing includes an opportunity for you to add up to 3 special interests to share with your friends. You get a unique page for each of these, plus a forum, storage space for videos, photos etc, blog and much more. Additionally, you will be encouraged to add keywords for each of your interests. This enables others to both search for interests and for interests to be automatically linked.

Another exciting feature is the "Linked Site" function, in which you add websites that are relevant to your interest. Coupled with the keywords that you have added, this provides an innovative websearch facility, which is entirely user-provided.

Of course, in addition to the interests, the site also provides personal profile pages, which function in a similar way to existing Social Networking Sites with photo space (although we provide more space than most, with the option to set up albums and slide shows), video space, blogs, comments, personal messages etc. as well as an option to add "Cool Sites" with keywords, which are integrated into the websearch function.

A genuine expression of online community

Get Sharing is more than "just another" Social Networking Site. We're certainly not another site that is simply about flirting, dating and chatting people up. Granted, if that's what you're looking for then you're more than welcome. However, our aims and objectives run a lot deeper than that. We want to be a genuine expression of online community, linking people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, faiths, disabilities and sexual preferences. Whoever you are, you're more than welcome here and we hope that you will find a genuine expression of online community and feel confident that you are among friends at Get Sharing.

User-driven websearch function

All search engines are the same, right? Owned by large corporations and populated with search results ordered by those organisations that have the most money to spend on website marketing... Well, at Get Sharing we have reinvented the Search Engine. Populated by sites that are recommended by our users, tied into keywords that our members think should fit and then put in order of how many times they have been added to our database. Simple? We thought so? Revolutionary? That's what we're about!

Interest-Orientated Approach

We want to enable you to share what's most important to you with your friends. Maybe it's your football team or your favourite band. Perhaps you're really into train spotting or another hobby. Perhaps you used to belong to an organisation and now want an opportunity to host a site where your friends from years gone by can join you in forums and chatrooms. Well, with Get Sharing that's possible! Every member is given space for up to 3 interests, to which they can add forums, diaries, photos, blogs, video, music and more. Make them public or private - its your choice. Get Sharing - it's an interesting place to be!

Easy and powerful customisation

It's good to be unique and stand out from the crowd. At Get Sharing we value diversity - trust us, you're welcome here regardless of your background, ethnicity, age, gender, belief, disability or sexual preference. And we want you to be able to express your individuality through your site. Change your colour scheme, add different background images, add different borders and styles. Perhaps reorder the layout of your page completely! And share your skins and styles with your friends and other members. And, unlike certain other sites, we don't require you to know html in order to achieve great results!

Loads of storage space for photos, videos and much more!

25MB. Absolutely free of charge. And yours to use as you wish. Maybe you want to upload all those photos to share with your friends who live abroad. Of course, we allow you to put them into albums and add slide shows. Perhaps you're a budding film maker. That's great, upload your videos and let the world see them. Musician or unsigned band? Fantastic! Showcase your music tracks to the world here at Get Sharing and let members add them to their playlists. Programmer or designer? Great! Design gadgets and skins for other users! And if you run out of space we have premium options, so you can upgade and have loads more room!

If you're looking for a Social Networking site that enables you to find new friends, spend time communicating through comments, messages and Instant Messenger with existing friends, and create an online space for photos, music, videos, gadgets, blogs, forums and much more to share with all your friends (old and new) then you should look no further than Get Sharing!
