| New Social Networking Site Designed for Hunters and Anglers
CamoSpace geared to unite hunters, anglers in online setting
Sporting enthusiasts across the globe now have an online spot to share their love of hunting, fishing and all things outdoors -- thanks to a new social networking site developed just for them. CamoSpace, launched last summer by Maryland native Denny Reid, is similar in structure to other popular social networking sites, and geared for those that love the outdoor lifestyle.
CamoSpace, named for the popular camouflage donned by many hunters and sportsmen, is meant to appeal to anyone interested in the great outdoors. Built by sportsmen for sportsmen, members share pictures, stories and videos while communicating with fellow outdoorsmen from all over the country. Users can ask questions, share tips, or just have a friendly chat either with individual users or groups - all without having any fees associated with membership. "CamoSpace really focuses on the country lifestyle of hunting, fishing, anything outdoors," said Reid. "We wanted a quick simple name everybody could remember. If you look around, you see that a ton of people wear camo. It really represents the outdoor lifestyle." Located at CamoSpace.com, the niche social networking site features an easy-to-customize interface where users of all ages can interact with other users from throughout the world via standard and instant messaging, blogs and chat rooms. Users can post photos, upload videos and have the opportunity to enter deer cam contests put on by CamoSpace. Visitors can also find countless sporting resources, including vendor links, product reviews, classifieds and online games.
