Hey Facebook - where's the respect? (Download Squad)

Feb 21st 2009 4:08PM If I understand correctly, Facebook can (to some degree) get away
with murder because of a complete lack of competition. Globally that
is.

In the Netherlands (Europe), Facebook is only number two in social
media, far behind this Dutch website/service called 'Hyves'. In my
opinion, Hyves offers a much more personal experience that, in many
ways, is far superior to limited and boring Facebook (where every
"personal" page looks the same).

My personal Hyves page has its own unique look, since designed it
myself. Just about everything can be fully personalized and you can
easily add all kinds of gadgets like YouTube movies, mp3 tracks,
etc.

Since Hyves is a Dutch website/company, Dutch laws apply when it
comes to the protection of personal information/privacy. And that's a
good thing, since Dutch law is very strict when it comes to the
protection of consumers' rights and personal information. Issues like
the Facebook controversies would be legally impossible with Hyves.
Your info and files are as safe as you want them to be!

Hyves try:
