Project title
Description of initiative
On Boblberg users can create new social relations and communities based on their common interests. It’s an informal forum where it’s not about setting up and presenting the perfect picture, but rather it’s a space where they have a unique opportunity to find other people in the same situation, with the same interests. On Boblberg new communities are created every day. Thousands of citizens have become a part of a new community through Boblberg. The sky’s the limit when it comes to the possibilities of getting new companions. It can be anything from new friendships, a workout or walking buddy, reading, food, or knitting clubs, a place to volunteer, or something else entirely.
