Facebook for Christians

Facebook for Christians

The latest in products that cater to Christians, meet FaceGlória, a Christian-oriented social networking site in Brazil. Both Time and BBC profiled the new site, which owners say has gained 100,000 followers in its first month.

Nolan Feeney writes in Time:

“On Facebook there is a lot of violence and pornography, so thought we’d found a network where we could talk about God, love, and share your word,” Faceglória web designer Atilla Barros told AFP. Barros and three other co-founders got the idea for the site, which features an “Amen” button instead of a “like” button, three years ago.

Would it be possible to get an “Amen” button in regular Facebook? I might be tempted to rejoin if I could “Amen” cat videos.
