There is only one Race: The Human Race

by JC Velten - 3 years ago

This article aims to help enlighten our readers that race is only the result of geography and the color of your skin does not make you special in any way. We champion one race, the human race, and will contribute to ensure this movement does not end until our laws and norms ensure we act humanely with each other.

Please, not another social app!

by JC Velten - 3 years ago

What we call social networks is anything but. A true human network is a place where we feel loved, safe, supported and championed, rather than one where we feel envious, empty, wasteful and deceived. Our purpose is to make technology work for people, not against them.

A connected, organized, neat, useful and meaningful way to navigate life with your friends.

by JC Velten - 3 years ago

There is no place like place. A social local network realizes that people live and play in places, and focuses on helping people make that experience richer.
