Welcome to Wink, the Web site “where people find people!” That’s their slogan and let me tell you, it rings true after browsing through the site. When you think of how many different social networking sites there are online today, such as MySpace, Facebook and Live Journal, just to name a few, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to do one simple search to find your friends?
What’s even better is you can search by name, location, interests, school and even work! You’ll find the search engine near the top of the page in the light blue box. Just fill in the information you’d like to search by and click the green Search button to get started.
While you’re here, why not claim your profile too? That way, it’s easier for your friends and family to find you. I know I have profiles on several different sites, so it would be nice for someone to be able to find me at any of them from just one place.
To claim your profile, click the Sign Up link at the top of the page. You’ll need to provide your name and e-mail address, as well as, set up a username and password for yourself. Next, check the box to agree to their terms and that you are over 13 years of age. Then just make sure you check your e-mail to confirm your account. You can now start setting up your profile with information about yourself, with as little or as much as you’d like!
That was pretty easy, right?! Now, people can find you on any of your many social sites, from one easy point of search. And you can do the same. Enjoy!
