Grouperz?!?

Since tis just something new, most don’t really know much bout it. Well here’s my short review about the mentioned site.

Naming names?
Grouperz [Group Peers(z)] was a name suggested by the codedspirit community after the owner of the said community decided to creat a socialnetworking site much like Friendster and MySpace today. Of course the first thing in mind was to create the site for but not limited to pinoys. Most may not know that I am from the original development team of grouperz [Core Dev's]. But due to certian events, something annoyed me and so decided to leave.

So what does grouperz have to offer?
Grouperz was initially created to be a site where friendster users who are tired of the constant patches can create, customize and present a profile with their wildest imagination. Of course with it comes great risks of diffrent scales. With grouperz, users can embed videos from larger networks like YouTube, Google Vids, etc.. they can Blog, create polls for other users to answer, upload pictures and chat/interact with the other users.

Grouperz today?
Not much has happened with grouperz since I left, there may be developments. But most are pretty much useless [The Grouperz Team Forum]. Possible reason for one to choose grouperz would be, cause their friends are using it

Why Grouperz?
I myself would not really want to recomend the site as it is [not that I have a grudge on it or anything]. The features are still too common and there is even a security flaw on the site that puts the users at great risk. One of it would be users may have their profile details changed w/o owner permission, leading to presentation of false information, the possibility of inflitrators using grouperz as a phishing site and the list goes on.

So what did you have in mind?
I wanted grouperz to stand out, there are already pinoy based socialnetworking sites that tend to imitate friendster as it is, but they lacked features and ideas. Grouperz on my own was supposed to be diffrent. Something that offers great user interaction, less lags, rich features that may rival Friendster or even FaceBook and supposedly, security and privacy for users. But sadly, the owner didnt have the same thing in mind.

Well that’s it for my review, Not that I intend this to have a negative effect on the site. But I just want the Current Dev’s [If there's still any] to put in mind that you may never offer a site good enough for users to keep noted on if you won’t try and look at things from the users point of view.
