One of the worst recessions in years has activated a national return to faith, family values and hope above material consumerism. Today, the world’s largest faith- and family-based social network, www.tangle.com announced the launch of its new name and Web site, which hosts more than 550,000 registered members. Www.Tangle.com is designed to appeal to one of the single largest audiences in America, the faith-based community and those seeking family-friendly and safe content.
Www.Tangle.com is a global technology company that creates social networking tools for the faith and family-friendly market and allows members to connect and share their faith and lives through videos, photos, blogs, music and more. Originally launched as www.GodTube.com, a video sharing site, it set the record as the fastest growing Web site in America during its first month of operation. The site grew rapidly and attracted up to 2.7 million users a month. Www.tangle.com has expanded to become the go-to Web site for the family-friendly community to safely interact online through a full social network.
“GodTube’s rapid success showed us the faith-based audience needed an online haven to communicate with those across the country and around the world who share their faith and their values,” said the new CEO of tangle.com, Jason Illian. “We expanded the vision of the company to be more than just a video sharing platform and created tangle.com to give all people the ability to create deep, meaningful online relationships where they can support each other through these tough economic times. Tangle.com enables people to connect their ‘brick and click’ worlds and focus on building real relationships – the kind of relationships that will keep people going when they lose their job or their home as millions of Americans are right now. The church has been social networking for hundreds of years – they just haven’t done it online. Now we are bringing it into the 21st century with tangle.com and offering the two billion Christians around the world an entirely new way to connect.”
