Ianoint.com -- Christians Are Learning That Even Web 2.0 Can Be Born Again
(PRWEB) April 25, 2008 -- A feature-laden Christian Community that's more than a forum, we like to call it a "Virtual Congregation."
With the Myspace and the Facebook's of the world garnering amazing success, it was rather shocking that Christians, a third of the world's population, lack a place to call home. Sure Facebook and Myspace have religious groups within their community, but the founders of Ianoint.com thought that wasn't enough, and Web 2.0 has now become its very own Christianity 2.0. The spiritual rebirth of Web 2.0 has created a social network tailored to everything Christian, from music, books, videos, blogs, to meeting other Christians.
Tailored to be your community, Ianoint.com has implemented a filter process to plague spammers of adult material, and inappropriate content, of which has long been an issue for many other social networking communities. Ianoint's filtering system library includes a profile pre-approval process (pictures, blogs, profile content, etc.), a compiled list of banned IP addresses, and all users of the community must be 18 years or older. Random age verification technology is also at play here. Ianoint's goal is to make social networking safe, relevant, and conducive to spiritual growth.
Enough with the technology, right? You want to know what this site is all about. Well if you haven't checked it out already, Ianoint is a community made for Christians by Christians, nearly everything you can ask for exists on their platform: blogging, e-mail, instant messaging, 3D games, general chat rooms, books, music uploads, video sharing via (Ianoint Tube -- yes even video content is filtered) and soon Ianoint will be launching video conferencing, so that web-cam users can view and interact with one another in private chat, a technology no other social network community has yet implemented.
Now if the technology and the community has you scratching your head like, so what, what's the difference? Well here it goes: "MY CONGREGATION," currently in beta version, congregations nationwide already testing, allows for institutions to stream live or recorded sermons on the net, viewable to all and every patron of the community, putting more organizations on the national and even global stage, creating a brand, helping to create partnerships in missions, and if that isn't enough, how about accepting donations 24 hours a day from any member from any part of the world who cares to tithe.
Ianoint executives understand that the technology will bring Christianity to the front stage, leveraging the haves and have not institutions of the world, and allowing all to sit center stage. "This isn't about another cool internet community," says one executive, "Ianoint is about breaking geographical, political, and institutional boundaries, finally a site with a purpose."
And yes we all agree Ianoint.com finally Web 2.0 gets the big picture.
