Thanks for your suggestions fezzl. Would surely try these.

We have made some changes to the homepage, explaining privacy protection and some common QA.

Would like to know your thoughts on the changes.

Hi _harr, there are only these options available while posting a status update: everyone, friends of friends, friends. And an option to customize further with lots of steps involved. The lists you create don't get visible there. Though this can be changed in just one night by FB, but that would still be an addon. The difference is in focus.

In tubri, we are focusing completely on human relations (groups) and its visible everywhere in the network.

For the wall case, we don't have any wall/scrapbook in Tubri, because we believe a user should use Private Messages for that purpose.

With groups thing as the foundation of the network, there will be more redesigns of the existing approaches to make it look more like real life network.

Hi sandipagr, user is not restricted to post to one group at a time only. If you like your photo to be viewable by your Friends, Family and Best Friends groups.. you can do so easily by selecting multiple groups while posting. Its that simple.

Hi by_harry, the difference is in focus. We are focusing on 'Social' with 'Relationships' in mind. Whereas Facebook lists were added later on to address grouping needs. Its not the main design point of Facebook.

With tubri.com, we are trying to make it easier and tightly integrated into the network right from the first step.

Hi vyrotek. This group concept is not a feature which can be integrated in any social network so easily. For this, a social network would have to make heavy changes (not technical) which gets difficult because users are used to of their old design.

In tubri.com, we have designed the whole network based on this groups concept. But we are trying to make a network which is like real life, which people find complementary to real socialization. This groups concept is a start.

Need your feedback on my startup: tubri.com

How do we live in our real life? Do we behave same with everyone we know? Do my co-workers get to know what I’m talking with my family or friends? Never.We live in groups. Different groups and different relations. All current social networks on the web allow you to keep only one group of all the people you know. Thats how they are designed. So any update/photos you share, gets visible to ALL....
