What it does
GodKut is a newly founded faith based social network. It’s open to people of every faith, provided upon joining they ‘agree that you love God and others made by Him!’. Discussion, questioning and debating are encouraged. Besides the religious slant, the site looks like any other budding social network. You’ve got videos—check out the little girl reciting Psalms—photos, profiles in which you can detail your ‘God Priority’ and specify your religiousness, there’s also music and classifieds. Users can start groups and blogs. They can chat in chatrooms and forums. There’s even messaging and event calendars. Pretty standard. Anyone can join provided they respect other members.
In their own words
“Social Networking has been around for ages – names like Orkut, Myspace, Facebook, Bebo, Yahoo!360, Xanga and LinkedIn have become a part of our everyday lives. Studies show as many as 65% of adult Internet users belong to at least one social networking site.
Well, it’s about time God takes over Social Networking isn’t it?
Godkut aims to create the largest faith-based social network in the world. We envision a world where peace, love and unity overtake religion and prejudice; a world without walls, where people can relate with one another as creations of ONE creator – irrespective of their religious beliefs or practices.”
Why it might be a killer
The site’s intent is good. While it may not be the most advanced faith based social network, it makes a good attempt. All sorts of religions are represented and people from all faiths have joined the site. It could provide a viable springboard for real discussion and questioning.
Some questions
GodKut has a rather bland interface. It’s got all the normal features of every other social network, but nothing makes it outstanding. What’s with the name?
