    Today, we all are connected with people who matter in our lives. People who we know already in real life, be it your friends, relatives, parents etc. Of course big thanks to Facebook.

    Facebook makes it easy to stay connected with already known people

    We log in to our Facebook everyday and see what's happening in our friend's lives. We share things about our own lives so that friends know what's up with us as well. Some of our friends are no longer with us, have moved to a far place. Hey, no problem, is it? Go get them live on Facebook chat. It makes them always connected with you. We just have been to a great website, oh, you have shared it almost instantly with your friends so that they can thank you if stuff turns out to be really good.

    Okay, sounds familiar. Pretty much everything said above is what allows us to stay in touch with people who we are supposed to know already in offline life. The whole idea is simple and straight forward, easy enough for anybody to use and get used to.

    A little problem

    Now, there is a little problem. We are lying to Facebook every time we send a friend request to someone stranger (though impressive and interesting enough) by confirming that WE ALREADY KNOW THIS PERSON OUTSIDE OF FACEBOOK.

    Facebook doesn't really like it if you try to connect with people you have no prior acquaintance with, neither most of us receiving requests from unknown people. After all what kind of motivation we have for letting strangers in and have them at level where they'd be able to see everything you do that only close people should be able to see. Yeah, you can control who can get to see what, but how often and how persistently you'd remember doing that with every unknown pal joining you.

    The tragedy is, we never have any ability to offer some kind of motivation to strangers who we send a friend request to. So most of the time we just end up getting rejected.

    The bottom line is, Facebook is great at allowing people to stay in touch with already known people. That's what it was built for, that's what it is known for. It doesn't allow people to expand their world, expend their social circle beyond their acquaintance zone.

    Some of us might always be looking to know more and more people from all around the world. Is there any dedicated network allowing to do that?

    Expanding your world

    Frendsdom tries to act as a solution to those problems. It aims to expand people's social circle through entire world. People come across random and unknown people from all around the world and make new connections, literary making the world smaller and more connected place.

    How you make new connections anyway on Frendsdom?

    There are two users, A and B.

    First approach (traditional one)-
    1) A somehow found B interesting
    2) A sends B an invitation
    3) B might not accept it because he doesn't already know A

    Second approach (Exclusively on Frendsdom)-
    1) A somehow found B interesting
    2) A sends B an invitation
    3) Along with this invitation, A offers B a couple of points, say 5 points
    4) This time chances are better as B will get 5 points if he accepts invitation.
    5) This way, both sides benefit, don't they?

    The main emphasis is on being different and giving more weightage on privacy. People don't create profile by answering predefined set of questions. Here, they will create questions they would like to answer. It gives you much more flexibility than any other form of profile. Your profile uniquely identifies you. This set of questions you crate is called Share box.

    If you wanted to reveal your annoyance towards dogs, you'd create a question-"Do I hate dogs?" and then write an answer- "Yes I do, they smell bed". You have a great chance to showcase your personality and creativity through your share box.

    And those of you who are always looking for an opportunity to make personal connection with people of different race/country/region, Frendsdom is great option. It has many more unique and fun loaded features to offer that will help you have some good time while making new friends.

    Enjoy expanding your world. Have fun!
