DURING your first sign up with Social Circle there is no need to dress up, do your hair and wash your car...! Just come as you are, and start sharing your personality! Social Circle is Sligo’s first social networking site.
There are literally millions of people seeking others for friendship, fun, romance and language exchange via the Internet. The problem with many social sites is that the members are scattered around the world, and you may never get to actually meet them. Social Circle is all about meeting new people on-line, for friendships, companionships and /or relationships. This is a friends’ space, a place where you can meet real friends and partners; but as the site is dedicated to Ireland, the people you meet on line, you can easily meet in real life.
Social Circle caters for individuals and couples of all adult ages who are looking to expand their social circle. Unlike other social sites, which are for certain age groups, Social Circle makes everyone welcome.
Social Circle allows you to express yourself and meet with friends on-line by exchanging messages and posting personal profiles describing who you are and what your interests, hobbies, and background are and to communicate through photos, videos, forum and instant chat.
When you have made these on-line friendships you can also take part in the off-line events. The events will be run on a regular basis to connect people, with the same interests and hobbies. By providing a variety of organised events for groups of like minded people, Social Circle is taking the pressure off the individuals who attend, and providing an open and friendly atmosphere where you can relax. If you have a suggestion for an event, you can post it on Social Circle’s website, and if it’s a popular idea, they’ll organise it! Events will initially be held in the Galway and Sligo areas, but as membership grows around the country, so too will the events.
The concept of finding friends online has introduced a whole new way of communicating. Finding real friends, just like when offline, takes time, but Social Circle gives you a tremendous variety of people to get to know from all walks of life.
If you aim at communicating with people that already have the same interests as you then, armed with hobbies in common, you will already have conversation material to help you break the ice. Social Circles search options make it easy for you to find a person with shared interests and goals. Internet friendships surpass the usual boundaries imposed by prejudice and often beliefs. This is why they are so worth while as on-line friendships allow us to explore rewarding friendships with people we may never have otherwise met.
Online chatting, message boards and email have somewhat revived the age old practice of writing out our thoughts to friends. Ideas, personality traits and beliefs can be exchanged before the friends even meet!
The site was launched in April. Membership is FREE. Click on www.socialcircle.ie for more details.
