SnapPages
SnapPages is a suite of online applications created to allow people to organize and share their lives with family and friends. SnapPages is “The Internet for the Rest of Us,” a location that allows anyone, regardless of past technical experience, to enjoy staying connected with their friends and family. The applications available through SnapPages are similar to other high-growth spaces such as Facebook or MySpace, but they are packaged and presented to an older demographic that has often been ignored by other social networking sites. The goal of SnapPages is to provide an exciting, yet easy to use, interface that will attract this demographic and help them overcome their fear of new technology. It will allow them to take full advantage of the power of the Internet to help organize and share their lives with friends and family. Go to snappages.com to learn more.
