Online social networking sites are booming. MySpace and Xanga hold the top spots for popularity, but slowly newer sites are being discovered. LostCherry.com is a great alternative to the afore mentioned sites. You can chat live in existing lounges or create your own. There is even a webcam option.
Named after a popular cocktail, LostCherry is well designed and maintained. Membership is free, and there is no long form to fill out. There is a live 24 hour technical support chat room, named the LostCherry Lounge, should you have a problem with the service. Also, members whose names appear orange and green in color are equipped to handle technical problems if members don’t want to venture into the lounge.
The Cherry Alert System will constantly let you know such things as when your friends are online, when you have received messages, when your friends have updated their photos, etc. Unlike other networking sites, the alert system is constantly updating during your LostCherry browsing. You don’t have to manually refresh to see if someone is viewing your page, or leaving comments. When you become a member, your friends list is already equipped with four friends that actually come online, and can help with any problem that may arise.
The best part about LostCherry is: no lag. Uploading photos, videos, and comments is quick and easy. There are pre-made skins available to change you page appearance, and reflect your personality. You can make your own skins for LostCherry using the skin builder if you feel adventurous. If you can’t decide on just one skin to use, you can set all of the skins you have in your skins file to activate, and each time your profile is viewed, one will be selected at random to show.
There is nothing that has to be downloaded, even though it has live chat, and comment tags you use for other sites like MySpace can be used. LostCherry is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. Unlike some of the other social networking sites, LostCherry allows you to upload 50 photos as a beginner. The longer you have an active account, the more pictures you are allowed to upload to your profile. You can even post a blog on your page if you choose to.
LostCherry is growing each day, and currently has 263,824 members. Whether it’s day or night for you, there are hundreds, and sometime thousands of members online to chat with. Members are friendly and won't hesitate to help a new person find his or her way around the site. Why put up with lag and refreshing to receive your messages when LostCherry dot com is an easier and faster alternative.
