Alternative Social Networks for Christians?
There is no doubt that Christians can meet singles on the many social networks that have sprung up in the last ten or so years. The legitimacy of members can be a problem – as I for one have seen many spam and fake profiles on these social networks I recognise (scammers will use pictures from other social networks and upload them to multiple sites).
Well – we Christians all know of Facetwit, Gootube and Twitster – where freedom to speak or voice an opinion other than what we are meant to think is fast being banned – or soon will be – but are there any other decent social networks for and Christians that are active and lively?
Or any alternative Christian My Space type services where you can have a Christian themed page and speak freely about the Bible and add your news and views without fear of reprisal and being cancelled?
Social networks were originally pretty much children of the Internet dating services that have boomed for the last 20 years – these networking services are more socially focused rather than romance – but often provided a forum for the same kind of friendships and love matches to develop without the stigma of course. Thankfully in 2021 it turns out there are lots of social networks for Christians – and a few that are pretty lively!

MyPraize – what they say: “Intended to appeal to both young people and adults, My Praize refers itself as “the Internet’s first Christian social network” on the site’s Facebook page. The site leans heavily on the Christian music industry and for its content and hosts more than 200,000 Christian music videos. It primarily appeals to the music-oriented, but that is not to say others would not find the online community engaging. The sites includes forums, chat rooms and even blogs to build its online community.”
Remember MySpace? Is there a Christian alternative website where you can get creative?
Remind me – what was MySpace? My Space was a social networking web site that was started in Santa Monica – California that offers an interactive network of user profiles, groups, photos, blogs plus an internal email system for its members. According to Alexa’s recent report – it is the world’s 4th most popular English language speaking website and the 5th most popular web site in the world. More than 5 English websites have a higher reach measurement – meaning they are visited by more unique persons each day.
My Sapce slowly gained greater popularity than competing web sites like Bebo, LiveJournal, Classmates.com, Friendster and MyYearbook to have the highest number of hits of all English language online social networking websites. It’s an increasingly influential part of contemporary pop culture, especially in the Anglosphere. MySapce employed 250 people in California at its’ height and projected in 2006 – revenue of $200M!
So – thats what myspace is all about… are there any Christian Alternatives? Well the answer is yes there are now several websites that offer Christian a my space alternative that is considered safe (read about recent concerns over myspace safety on Google). These sites try to screen out bad profiles and potential scammers and misusers but it remains to be seen how well they (the Christian versions of myspace) can achieve this on tighter budgets. To find them – just hit google or yahoo and search for Christian social networking web sites and services or christian my space sites etc. Meantime we’ll try and find a good selection to post here when we can.
