Brazil's Christian Facebook: A better networking alternative?

(The Christian Science Monitor) A group of Evangelical Christians in Brazil launched a new social network last month called FaceGlória. Agence France-Press reports the site claims to be comparable to Facebook—but without all the sin.

FaceGlória has many of the same functions as Facebook, but information is filtered out that the creators have deemed inappropriate to make the site suitable for its Christian audience. In its first month, more than 100,000 users signed up.

"On Facebook you see a lot of violence and pornography,” co-founder and web designer Atilla Barros told AFP. “That's why we thought of creating a network where we could talk about God, love and to spread His word.”
