Hi everyone,
Following the recent introduction of the Social Web 3.0 concept1, I want to showcase how Hibe
opens the way for a new social networking experience that goes beyond Facebook.
We released Hibe.com’s proofs of concept in 2009, received many constructive comments and
will soon launch its final version.
The following slides showcase some of Hibe’s features and how they solve the problems of
people like Debbie.
All comments are welcome.

audiences that kept mixing up.

adding to the complexity. Fact is, my audiences also mix
up and overlap online.
