FriendlyBriefs.com - Spread the News With Your Own Headlines

Keeping in touch with family and friends can be a delicate affair; there are emails to write, phone calls to make, and suppers to join. It´s not necessarily something we enjoy, but, hey, family is family, and friends, well, they´re sort of like family too. We´ve got to drop a line from time to time to fend off offense; wouldn´t want to offend mummy dearest, now would we? Here´s an idea, why not have your own newspaper, with headlines all about yours truly that everyone can read? Friendly Briefs makes it possible. It´s like blogging and social networking sans that internet look; instead what you get is a newspaper. Post pictures of your latest feats, write articles about all the newest goings on and events that are important to you. Your entire family can contribute to say, the Smith Family Tribune. Or you and your workmates can create a paper dedicated to office space capers. The possibilities are really endless. Create your own headlines and let people know what´s going on. Spread the news, your news. The site is easy to use, so anyone, even the old M and P can take part. Signing up is free.

“The goal of the The Friendly Briefs crew is to enable each individual to stay up-to-date with what they care about the most.

This is web 2.0 with a twist; it´s geared to those who maybe don´t want to get into social networking, but still want to keep in touch with those they care about. The newspaper format is quite clever, and anyone, even the most technically unsavvy will enjoy writing their own headlines?

Will this getting back to basics approach work? Will families really dig it? There are a plethora of other, more feature filled sites out there that accomplish the same thing, can Family Briefs find a niche?
