First 500 Founding Members to receive a free, full featured Gold Membership

SPRING GROVE, Ill., June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Grooppa! Family & Friends, a new family and social networking website, is about an innovative approach and philosophy to networking – a place where businesses and advertisers are not allowed. Family & Friends was developed to fulfill two primary missions that individuals and families are looking for – social privacy and retaining ownership of their content. With these comes freedom from advertising, members' browsing history and individuals' personal interests not being monitored and recorded.

Grooppa! is unique, in that it is Facebook, Meetup, Flickr, Blogs and more, all rolled into one. Grooppa! Family & Friends is a website where members can build private family and social spaces, add friends, link to people with similar interests, have streaming conversations, share photos and videos and create memoirs for future generations.

Christoph, founder & CEO, when asked what motivated this undertaking, responded by saying, "I'm exhausted from incessant business invasion into our culture and personal lives. I created this environment to serve families and individuals who feel the same need for privacy as I do. Grooppa! Family & Friends is my response to regain freedom from corporate intrusion and advertising tyranny."

Family & Friends is not just another social platform clone.  It is a whole new, all encompassing website. It combines the best features of social collaboration tools available today. Members can build their own public / private groups, which can be isolated from each other and have separate wall posts, discussion and announcement sections. They can create photo albums and video galleries; they can publish their own public / private Blogs; any member can create private or published memoirs, for future family generations; they also have access to join public chat rooms and create their own private family or friends social spaces; members have full access to advanced community forums; they can also create family and group events, with RSVP built in.

With Grooppa!, members can maintain all connections to Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn and other popular social platforms. Unlike other social sites, however, which generate their income from advertisers, Grooppa! Family & Friends does not allow corporate membership; businesses have no access to its members' browsing activities, personal habits, likes and dislikes. Instead, Grooppa! charges members an annual fee to support the infrastructure.

There are 4 different membership levels available, ranging from free to $3 and $5 per month, for all features. As an introductory promotion, Grooppa! is offering a free lifetime Founding Member, Gold Membership to the first 500 individuals who subscribe. Website: www.family.grooppa.com
