Faced with controversies regarding privacy, facebook’s stronghold in the virtual dimension has been shaken. Facebook users are concern about protecting their personal information against identity thieves, pedophile, stalkers and other unwanted elements that could make use of their personal information against them.

    Despite all those commotions, facebook remained the number one social network in the virtual world because its benefits could outweigh its disadvantages. Facebook allows you to connect to the world as they have promised. Who doesn’t want to reconnect with a long lost friend? Who doesn’t want free advertisement to an online business? The answer is no one. Facebook has revolutionized information sharing, online advertising and online business connection building however we should understand that protecting our vital information remains an issue.

    You might ask, is there any alternative to facebook? Yes, there are other alternatives to facebook although not having the same functionality as facebook per se but they allow you to connect with your friends, family members and colleagues. One of them is SWOM.

     What is SWOM? It is an online social network that allows online marketers to advertise their lucrative online opportunities without risking their personal information. Online marketers’ haven as they call it. SWOM provides you with reliable tools that enable them to build a community around the things that you are passionate about. One fascinating thing about SWOM is that you will receive generous incentives whenever you participate in the SWOM community and advertise your business deals which facebook does not offer to their users.

What do you think? Has facebook finally met its match or SWOM is just another social media contender against a social network mogul?
