My friend showed me this the other day; it's somewhat like MySpace or Friendster (or whatever), but natively Esperanto. I've found it's a cool way to find Esperanto speakers who live near you (if they have signed up). I've already found one user who lives only a half hour from me, and the site is still brand new, with not that many users. I encourage you to sign up, especially if you are looking to meet new Esperanto-speakers in your area.

This is a very nice idea. I hope it gets the attention it deserves. If you think of ways to promote it, on a blog for example, do so. We can all benefit from this.

Not all of the people currently signed up identify themselves as Esperanto speakers!

I did have a quick look, but thought it was a bit advanced for me yet.

But hey what have I got to loose, I will join in a mo.

Just hope they dont mind crocodiles.

This may be due to browser issues, actually. When I first signed up, I was using IE and it wouldn't let me choose more than one language. I had to switch over to Firefox to be able to select more than one language! Plus I guess some people might figure that if their profile is written in Esperanto, then of course they speak it and they don't need to list it.

Ah, that's certainly possible. In any case, it allows one to indicate their level of competence, baza, meza, alta... Nobody should feel intimidated.

I think that a site like this is not only a real asset for Esperantists, but it also sends a good message about Esperanto to the rest of the world. It shows that we're out here and that Esperanto isn't an idea that "died" decades ago, as many think.
