Your Real Life, Online.

Sgrouples is about keeping it real. In real life you dont have a thousand friends, and you dont talk in 140 characters.

Sgrouples connects you to your real relationships in the real world. You really may have a thousand or more contacts, and you want to control who sees what and how you interact with those different people. At Sgrouples, invite your friends, family, and anyone in your life to become your Contacts and then share what you want with exactly who you want, just like in real life. Its social media for the real world. Sgrouples keeps it simple, revolutionary, and intuitive. Create private groups and share selectively with the different people in your life. Or with one click, share one-to-one or oneto-many with your Contacts through private messages. Share simultaneously with your other social networks through our central hub. You can even store, share, and print photos, or create and collaborate on documents. Store everything in your free, private cloud! Plan events. Have great discussions. It is natural, integrated, and easy; Sgrouples is the Web 3.0 of social media. Watch our short video to learn more! !"
