As the online tech giants Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and others make changes to what we can say and see on their venues, many of us have thought “Wouldn’t it be great if there were options?”. I am one. It really irritates me when these online products become so full of themselves. They take on all aspects of my life with their huge lobbying powers. It’s time for an alternative venues change.

Choices Are Important!

So, the search began. I wanted alternative venues that were not some “hacker-ish” limited scope solution but more mainstream and user friendly. I have been pleasantly surprised with what I found. Below are 7 of my favorites and while most are not as polished as the current tech giants solutions they are a really great start and are developing quickly.

Change is hard…

Many of us have a plethora of connections to capture, pictures to download and events to put elsewhere. Some even have businesses on some of these venues. We’re comfortable where we are and it’s our way of life. Tech giants count on this. But with a little patience and education the change can happen. And I must tell you it’s liberating!

More and more of these alternative venues are popping up all the time and I will display links for these on my site as they do. Let’s make sure we always have choices, and a voice, or the tech giants will make sure we don’t.
