net4mac is a free social networking service built exclusively for Mac users. In order to become a part of the community and use all its features, users need to download an innovative application designed for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The net4mac application allows members to...
* Create an account and login to the service (internet connexion required). * Create your profile including your location, job, activities, skills and the type of Macs, iPhone, iPod, etc. that you own. * Add friends to your profile and manage them (remember, the service is only for Mac users). * Contact members, send invitations to join the community, and manage your messages. * Create your own groups of interest and invite friends to join them (people using the same application, in your same location, sharing the same passions, etc). * Browse and join groups you find interesting - share discussions, events and more! * Create events and invite Mac users (this is useful if you want to announce the presentation of a product / service, etc) * Create Classifieds Ads to sell items, find a job, offering services, etc * Search members using different of criteria (for example, you can find people that use the same Mac or software) * Discover people around you (other Mac users in your neighborhood) * And many more functions!
There are many advantages to use an application instead of a website:
* Better integration between Mac OS X technologies and the features. * The community is easy to access from the Dock. * Members can send invitations using their AddressBook * Members can add/remove people with public profiles to/from their AddressBook. * Members can add a picture to their profile or a group from their webcam! * Members can see the number of messages in the dock (like Apple mail) * And much more!
