Well I wont be criticizing Facebook just because I wanna promote my another social media. Everyone including me knows facebook is a nice and very cool stuffs but has one main problem which is Privacy of its member and am here to give you an alternative to that.
Well the alternative is E Chat Book, the E stands for Exclusive, the site is a social network created by Salako Teslim a Nigerian. The site was created based on the ideas of Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg but modified for providing better services for its members. So without talking much lets go straight to the point.

1. E Chat Book makes it possible for you to stay "private."
Yes by using echatbook you can stay private by selecting the option in your account and only the friends you have add will be able to see your profile, apart from those no one will be able to see your wall not even your profile picture it will clearly display the below text
[size=20pt] The profile of the person you are trying to view is Private[/size]

2. The "friend suggestions" tells you to befriend people you know.
The friend suggestion module as been configured in such a way that it will only show to you members to which you will likely be friend with.

3. Ability To Claim A page or Group.
With this feature if you own a brand or product and someone is trying to impersonate your business by creating a page in your business name or product name as the case maybe, you have the priviledge to claim that page or group and you will be contacted to provide necessary files to verify your claim and if found genuine the page will be transferred to your account.

4. Activity Point.
Well this is just a feature included in the site in which for every actions you perform on the website you recieve activity point, lets say you commented on a picture now you will recieve activity point for doing that. Also members are ranked according to their activity point.

5. Market Place
I know you will be thinking what will be the usefulness of the activity point but actually the activity point is useful it can be used to by stuffs in the marketplace it is like a virtual money used to by real stuffs. For example
If you have 100 activity point and in the market place we have a 500naira recharge card for that activity point amount (100) you can purchase the recharge card with your activity point. And it is real. Trust me we all know facebook does not have this feature
