Compared to some of the other social networking sites in our review, PerfSpot is a relatively new kid on the block. Like most social networking sites PerfSpot offers videos, music, customizable profiles, applications and groups. You can even open your own Internet store.
Although PerfSpot allows users as young as 13 to join, the site is aimed at college students and young professionals providing a more adult atmosphere. That’s not to say the site is adult oriented, but sections like “PerfNights” is a section dedicated to pictures of people drinking and partying. The profiles of users under the age of 18 do not appear in a general search.
A unique feature to PerfSpot is the ability to set up an Internet store using PerfSpot at your host. It’s your own little ecommerce site. All you need is a PayPal account and some stuff to sell. They also offer free online storage. You can upload an unlimited number of documents and files to your PerfSpot account. You can upload homework, PDF files, data reports and more from a wide variety of extension options.
PerfSpot also has videos from most of the major networks and Hulu. There are music videos, television shows, movies and more. There is also a substantial music section that lets you to listen to thousands of songs and add them to your profile playlist. However, we noticed you do not have the ability to upload your own videos to the site.
We liked that PerfSpot has an eclectic collection more than 100 groups to join and you could customize your profile using they’re profile editor. Although you can’t place your own code in like MySpace, you can choose a color scheme pick from one of their pre-made skins and themes.
We felt that PerfSpot’s interface was clean and easy to navigate. Privacy settings were easy to find and easy to set up. Various sections of your profile could be set to different security levels and you can limit from which countries your friend requests come from.
Although PerSpot is a secure site we felt that there wasn’t enough attention or focus geared toward networking with people you already know. Instead during the course of our evaluation there were more than a half dozen strangers from all over the world asking for friend requests. Although this is less likely to happen if our profile was set with stricter privacy settings, we wanted to see what happens when you keep your profile as public as possible.
