Catholic Myspace Launched!
John654.com Prepares for Public Opening of 'the Catholic/ Christian Alternative to MySpace'
The emerging phenomenon of Catholic online social networking is about to ''explode'' as John654.com prepares to open its web-doors to the public.
From EWTN, Catholic TV and radio to Catholic Answers forum, Catholic internet alternatives are popping up everywhere as recourses for Catholics to go online and communicate with other Catholics from around the world.
Even Hollywood is tapping into the Catholic / Christian niche market with its more frequent releasing of Christian-targeted films including The Passion of the Christ and The Chronicles of Narnia.
Now, the emerging phenomenon of Catholic / Christian online social networking is about to "explode" as John654.com prepares to open its web-doors to the public.
Individuals are able to use John654 for entertainment and communication with one another in chat rooms, pass along messages in "forums," and communicate their interests and enjoyable multimedia via their easy to create totally customizable profile pages. Bands, well established or not, also use John654 to promote their music, news, merchandise and concerts to fans who, in turn, promote the band to their friends, and so on. In addition, organizations and business people network their ideas, products and services with other like minded individuals with the help of John654.
"We wanted to create a place online like the ever popular myspace but geared more to Catholics," says Gary Gersin who along with John Marra wanted to create a place for everyone to hang out with friends and family and not to be bombarded with smut ads or even to be picked on for their beliefs.
