Looking for feedback on new social networking site


Question

Hey guys, I've been working on a little social networking project for the past 2 months and I just released it as a public beta and I'm looking for some feedback!

It's called Buddify, I created this site mainly out of the frustration of not being able to find a good alternative to facebook. I wanted a site that had a neat, simple, easy to use interface. One that genuinely cared about people's privacy, and most importantly, one that didn't bombard you with thousands of invitations to join farmville. So naturally, like any geek with a lot of time on their hands, I created my own :)

Feedback much appreciated,

HAHA Trisexual. wtf? :D I don't like the Brown default theme. Blue looks much better. Make things match better with the theme you chose. On the settings page. Have a button to make them all Friends Only or Everyone etc. I think it's amazing that you can make a site like this. :yes:

There's a variety of themes to choose from :).

If that's the case, you should probably set the default theme to a more cheerful color like green, blue, or even red.

Not a chance in hell I am going to give any form of information to a social networking site created by a guy who lists "hacking" as a hobby!

The question I'm asking is why? This isn't going to as big or even touch facebook in terms of usability. And there is another alternative to facebook coming soon which is look rather cool, Diaspora.

But if you want to continue, then improve the looks and appeal of the website ....

lol Diaspora, because everyone wants to own or rent a server to use a social networking site.

You won't have to. Diaspora will host their own servers too and provide free accounts, but the key is that the option is there if you want to host your own profile.

@OP: The site looks OK, but it's very similar to Facebook (albeit with content moved onto the left instead of the right, and vice-versa. I think you would have a hard time convincing to switch to something that looks like Facebook, when they could just use Facebook. You need to emphasise what it is about Buddify that makes it different from (and better than) Facebook or MySpace.
