For starters, I must admit that I am biased. I work for Flugpo, therefore find it great otherwise I would not be promoting it. However, even as a “civilian,” I’d find Flugpo to be the Internet’s best kept secret. Why? Because our site has your best interest at heart, at all times.

We’re not just SEO-friendly but we’re best friends, maybe even soulmates.

If you haven’t seen how friendly our site is yet, then take a few minutes to read this testimonial from a Flugpo member who learned really quickly how valuable our site can be.

Flugpo TestimonialRachel Ray in Maryland
posted by Harmon Builders, LLC
Ok…so, I joined flugpo and posted an ad for my company, Harmon Builders, LLC just a few days ago (http://www.harmonbuilders.com). Within one hour of finalizing my account and post on “flugpo”- much to my surprise, I received a call from “The Rachel Ray Show” in NYC. I was not quite sure as to why I’d be getting a call from her network…at any rate, Rachel’s assistant producer, “Maggie”, explained that she’d done a recent online search for “kitchen remodeling contractors” in the Maryland area and our company came up in one of the number one spots at the time of the online search. Rachel’s producers were in search of a local Maryland builder to partake in a kitchen renovation segment of her show. I was astonished as to how quickly “flugpo” had released my information into the general online community and the immediate response I had gained…literally, it was within about 45 minutes of finalizing my account with “flugpo”. Thanks flugpo for getting the word out to the “big shots”…as for appearing on “The Rachel Ray Show”, we had to decline, but, at least I had my chance of possibly becoming a “local” celebrity!! ~Melani

In response to the growing concerns that social network site user’s have had over privacy, we’ve sponsored the development of a plug-in to help counteract the collection and sale of personal information. This plug-in will be available through MyDataIsMyData.org.

Selling private information for profit unbeknownst to the user’s is an abuse of their trust and MyDataIsMyData.org hopes to empower these user’s by allowing them to control the amount of personal information that they make visible.
