Everyone is talking about social networking sites. There are oodles and oodles to choose from - but for some people the internet is a complicated and sometimes frightening place.
If you know someone who feels that way about the online world then perhaps www.finrday.com is the place for you to connect?
After logging in for the first time you will be prompted to invite your family or friends to join your closed network. There is a very clear video tutorial to help you do this.
All the buttons and text are presented in large contrasting fonts, making it super easy for those with poor eyesight to find their way around.
In fact the whole website concept was designed by a qualified care home worker who wanted to provide an online networking service for older people to enjoy and feel safe in.
It is early days for the site so some of the services are not yet available but you can send emails and share photos, simplifying the family communication tools into something that even your great grandmother should feel comfortable using.
The site has already been translated into Welsh, Polish and Punjabi
