nderground

nderground is a social network built for privacy. We built nderground for parents, lovers, jobseekers, licensed professionals, people who are not “out” to everyone in their lives. We built nderground for you. We built nderground to allow people to share the events of their lives with their friends and family without sharing with the entire Internet. No privacy settings are needed on nderground because nderground is private. What is posted on nderground stays on nderground. nderground has no “true name” requirement. Many nderground users go by a handle (a made up name), rather than their legal name. An nderground member is known only to their connections. On nderground these connections are called a Karass (a reference inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s book Cat’s Cradle). Content that is posted on nderground can only be seen by a member’s Karass. Relationships among Karass members are one-to-one. For example, if Alice has added Bob and Theresa to her Karass, she can see their posts. But Bob cannot see Theresa’s posts and Theresa cannot see Bob's posts unless they are in each other’s Karass. Their association with Alice does not make them visible to each other (we don't leak information via friends-of-friends). Many features, large and small are coming. We are working on a gallery that will allow you to manage the pictures you post to nderground. Some people may prefer to post in the Gallery rather than on their board. We are considering many other features, including public spaces where the nderground community can post text, pictures and music. If nderground sounds like the kind of social network that you have been looking for, you can request an invitation at http://www.nderground.net (there is a “request an nderground invitation” link at the bottom of the page). We look forward to hearing from you. We want to hear about any problems you encounter and how you think that nderground can be improved. You can reach us at support@nderground.net. We are also on Twitter (@nderground_net), but as you might guess, we’re not on Facebook (or Google+). For the last two years we have been building nderground. We are very grateful for your support and your Product Hunt upvotes.
