Image via CrunchBaseBought by AOL, has won this network of services to momentum in the U.S. was only good news and growth. Very popular in the UK is starting Bebo, some of these social networking sites a run for their money. Like other sites that you can customize your profile, add applications to join you define the parameters of privacy and groups.However, we have found that to be the determination of the navigation and friend of Bebo a bit difficult, but still boast of their security settings, turned out to be a bit overboard.
Profile:
When registering with Bebo a user is assigned. This name is also part of the database. Even if you are not an option in your user name, which is close to memorize his name and easy. Our name has been associated with the account name, middle initial, last name and some numbers.
Bebo profiles are very funny and a great number of customization options. There is a large database of skins to choose for you.Skins will be presented by the users of other Bebo and MySpace skins, unlike some others, there is no risk of spyware or viruses.Although not everything you can customize your profile with HTML or CSS Skins are versatile enough to please most users.
Bebo also has some basic functions like most social networking sites such as adding comments, photos, blogs and applications.Photos can be commented by e-mail and labeling. We wish he could be profile drag and drop to organize modules. With just a little more customization options Bebo MySpace profiles blowing out the water.
Safety:
Bebo is the only place we automatically default to your profile have reviewed private. If you want your public profile, you must manually change the security settings. Bebo also proposes that members under 21 years only the first letter of your last name as a security measure. You can also the age of those who want to make contact with you by establishing a minimum age and maximum settings of your account.
For certain users to users about spam and abuse lock. There is also a back-up link is at the bottom of each page on Bebo with a funny video that explains the problems of security and confidentiality. It is certainly worth a visit.
We were a little surprised that Bebo has been no dedicated link to edit your profile page is set to privacy. Privacy settings in your profile are grouped with all other editing options. We also want some additional options that would have required such as limiting the occurrence of certain models for friends or friends of friends who are not only the opportunity to make your profile public or private.
Network:
Bebo characteristics of networks are global, but there is nothing particularly spectacular about it. Has all the basics such as instant messaging (MSN and Windows Live) images of clouds, videos and music. Bebo has a deal with Skype to be installed on the application and where other users can see which are available through Skype, you can directly with the computer as a phone.
The video section contains links to Youtube, CBS, Spike TV and much more. You can also watch videos in the armor of the internet as webisodes. There are also hundreds of music and video clips from a variety of genres such as the Club, Rap, Hip-Hop, Hardcore, Techno, Christian, country, pop, punk and R & B, just to name a few. They also have local groups to publish their profiles Bebo for a doctorate.
If we see a little disappointing group. Bebo allows users to create and join groups, but the organization of different groups and difficult to navigate. Can search by category, they are just combined.
Search:
Beboers presented to the profiles. You can not free you to navigate or search for specific criteria Bebo. This adds a level of security that many websites do not extend, however, also limits the ability Beboers to their network of friends.
To find new friends, you must load the address Bebo and find the profiles of your friends with their e-mail address. Or you can go to the individual e-mails and search for your friends in this way to write. You can not find the database Bebo by name, school or the city.
Help / Support:
We need the help files and FAQ Bebo very entertaining. Not only her soft answer questions every day, but the direction of the user with a sound very relaxed and fun, while the point above. You can also contact by e-mail support form Bebo.
Legal approach:
Bebo Safety is blocked a lot, so the probability of receiving unsolicited e-mails of people crawling all over the world is reduced to almost zero. At that time we had our Bebo account is not a message that will not be a person who did not know, or friend of a friend. Bebo invites you to meet your friends in real life before making a part of the network line.
Summary:
Bebo still has to cut his work when they want to take the first two social networking services, but judging by its popularity in the United Kingdom and Ireland, is a matter of time before they become a sensation in the United States. Although we love the seriousness with which we want the electronic security Bebo look better or to see more customization features privacy setting would.
