There are plenty of social networking sites available to you, from Facebook to LinkedIn to MySpace. But what are the other options out there?

Well if you’re looking for a chance to connect with other people of the same faith, then these sites are for you.

• Tangle.com

This social networking site is basically a community of people sharing music, comments, videos and photos. As far as the aesthetics go, this Web site is above most. It’s got a grungy look with easy to navigate buttons.

You can join tangle as an individual, as a group, as a church, as a ministry, or even as a band. These unique pages allow you to connect with people on all different levels. The interesting thing is that Tangle was formerly called GodTube, and since their reconstruction they have made themselves much more appealing. The site is dedicated to helping Christians share their faith through any means necessary.

They call themselves “a place where, in addition to sharing videos, our users can connect and share their faith and lives with others through photos, audio messages, blogs, prayers, music, causes and so much more.”

• ZoeCity.com

This Web site is similar to MySpace, only with a faith spin on it. It is for the 13-18 year old age group and has around 20,000 users each month. This Web site, like a MySpace, allows users to create their own page and customize it, create their own Web site, or follow music artists.

ZoeCity is a secure site too, allowing users to verify their identity with a mobile phone number or credit card.

I like the aesthetics on this site as well. Although not as fancy as tangle.com, it is easy to navigate and offers a variety of options, rather than limiting users to one form of doing things.

• ShoutLife.com

ShoutLife’s Web site doesn’t look all that appealing to the eyes, but has made a way in the Christian social networking sites as one of the larger user populations. They have around 140,000 users. ShoutLife says they are “a free community and social networking Web site that offers customized profiles with unlimited photos, networks, events, private/instant messaging, blogging and more.”

The appeal of ShoutLife is that they are safe and clean, but still offer enough features to capture our attention. This site operates through a staff of volunteers that monitor the site’s content and language filters.
