Joining as a free member

New members can join by selecting a user name of their choice, consisting of letters and numbers and give their email id. A verification link is sent to your email and you can click on it. However, the username is valid only for24 hours; so you must finish off the registration process within that time or else select another user name again.

Adding a Photo


After joining, you can upload one photo along with a description of yourself for each of the sites added to the account.

This protects the members from casual browsers.

Groups


The My Account section has a Groups link, where you can click to join a particular category matching you specifically. This will help people looking for a person like you to find you more easily.

Instant Messages


The IM can be accessed from the relevant link on your profile page found below the photo. You can view the link only if you are logged in as a member and can only send a message to a member who is also online. You can check this out in the ‘Who’s Online’ area.

Emails


The site offers a secure internal system for emailing. All emails are sent to this system. You can click on the link in My Account in order to send or to receive a message. You can also activate the Alert feature, so that Alerts are sent to you when you receive an email.

The site seems to have been assembled very hastily and is not aesthetically very appealing .

Editor’s Verdict


Members don’t have to pay any fee to enjoy all the features of the site and they can also upgrade to join the Passions network. The site is recommended for its rich features, blogs, forums, chat rooms and Popular feature, which is a lot for a totally free site.
