    I'm all about the ShoutLife - their implementation is really nice - and the friend request are easier than any I've seen, click the link, and you're there. Nicely done. Here's Mine, be my friend! lol

    The only thing, I can't find one reference to them being Nashville based. I'm Nashville based, so maybe you were thinking of NashvilleHype! when posting, lol.

    Paul,

    Not sure - the press release we were sent said Nashville, but I just saw a conflicting news report that had somewhere else listed. I'll pull it for now.
  • paul king · 2 years ago
    Ahh, might've/probably came from Nashville Publicity Group who handles many christian sites and artists and are a good operation.

    Hmmm. Jesus just asked me to add him to my friends list. I don't know if this is a good idea. The Holy Ghost is already on my friends list and I hear that he and Jesus have an off-and-on relationship at best.

    By the way, Jesus has nothing on the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost has all the hot chicks on his list. Such a heavenly pimp!

    Hey Pete - thanks for the plug! This is Paul, the founder of ShoutLife.com. Verify this by emailing me at paul [at] shoutlife [dot] com.

    At any rate - thanks for the plug. We have actually had a number of users sign up due to this article.

    A couple notes:
    1. We are from MN, but use a Nashville-based company to do our publicity

    2. I am actually a graphic designer by heart, so let me say that it is VERY hard to give up layout/creative control to users to "pimp" out their sites... I cringe at how some of them have completely customized their profiles. CSS can be your friend, or your biggest enemy.

    Like you mentioned, though, people LOVE being able to make their profile their own. At any rate, we are going to continue to work around CSS ruining the framework of the site, IE - the navigation bar at the top. If you would look at Tammy Trent's profile again, you would see it overriding her CSS modification so the nav bar at the top remains legit.

    3. I'm glad you experienced the "communal" aspect of the site firsthand. Although we have a huge member base, the common belief system seems to link everyone together... its a beautiful thing.

    4. I also appreciated that you felt that "the Christian part doesn’t totally dominate the site". Yes, we are Christian owned and operated, but we do NOT shove Jesus down anyone's throat... our goal is to make a clean and fun atmosphere, and promote faith-based music artists, authors, etc... we try to be balanced at all costs.

    Just my .02.

    Thanks again for your well thought-out words, Pete.

    Funny the things you find when you google.

    I've been a Shoutlife member since December and I can't tell you enough about it! I've never liked MySpace simply becasue there was no community aspect, but as soon as I logged in to Shoutlife, I was amazed. The commonality of our faith is a huge factor, there's no doubt, but I think it's mostly because people really care about others on there.

    Thanks for "mashing" us. I hope to see you around on there!

    I have found the best Christian site on the internet to be JCFaith.com and is much better alternative to Myspace and the rest.
  • reece · 2 years ago

    how do you get layouts for shoutlife....email me a swdishgirl777@aol.com to tell me please
  • Jerry Smith · 2 years ago
    Shoutlife is nice, but it is not a Christian MySpace. It is more of a Christian Forum with Blogs that allows (like most forums) users to have a simple profile. No doubt it is kewl, but to compare to MySpace, it must possess at least some of the main features. For that, there are plenty to choose from of which many I am a member of currently. The one I use the most due to speed and ease of use (and similarity to MySpace) is www.DittyTalk.com.

    Again, it is not really a Christian MySpace, but more a Christian site with kewl forums and blogs. That is my 2 cents.

    Check out faithitup.com. I heard from a member on faithitup that they were told by shoutlife to pull all ads from faithitup from their site. I guess there is some competetion.lol

    you all better be careful in what you say, and in whom your "friends" are.I know we all have the right to our own opinion,BUT,when you are talking about God,Jesus,or the Holy Ghost,have the decensey to respect our Savior and keep your coments to a minimum and not in any slanderous or degradeing manner.THANK YOU!
