Look4Mac social networking site for Mac users

look4mac logoLooking to capitalize on the social networking site craze, Look4Mac just launched one of their own - for Mac users and the people who love them.

Look4Mac describes itself as a "very powerfull [sic] networking site that will help you to find Mac users near your home or everywhere [sic] in the world."

Based on that ill-formed and badly spelled sentence combined with the MSN Messenger icon prominently displayed on their homepage, I'm not getting my hopes up. Regardless, I don't really see the point. A large percentage of us have Apple User Groups nearby and for those who don't, there are internet-based user groups out there, along with a handful of other social networking sites that have Mac-user "cliques."

Basic accounts are free, but Personal and Professional Unlimited Memberships are available for $19 or $49 a year, respectively. Paid members can upload more photos and access additional, unnamed website sections and features.

Look4mac seems to be filling a need that doesn't actually exist, but I'll keep tabs on them to see what they have to offer once they've settled in.

After going to the site, myself, I agree. It is not good advertising. However, I think the concept is sound. Oh well, back to trying to convert Windows-using friends...

I just went to the site, it looked very unprofessional... turned me off right away. They need to seriously improve their UI.. Their a Mac site, for crying out loud!

Laurie, This may not seem like a good idea to you, but I think it is something that could be a great idea. I am the only Mac user I know personally. I have met other Mac users through the local Atlanta Mac user group, here. However, I have yet to meet any members there that I can "click" with. Maybe this online networking idea will be what I need to find other Mac users. My friends are getting tired of the constant "switch to Mac" comments I make. :) I would love to meet other local Atlanta folks into Macs and such. So far, it's been difficult.
