Social Networks such as MySpace and Facebook are becoming increasingly popular. Now the Kiwis are getting in on the act:

A New Zealand-based social network, iYomu, is launching globally today with a US$1 Million challenge. iYomu is branding itself as a "social networking website for grown-ups" and the site is restricted to those over 18 years old. The name of the site, iYomu, stands for "I, You, Me and Us". Its aim is to provide a social networking space for the older generation, who may be turned off by teen hang outs like MySpace and Facebook.

Wellington's Downtown Community Ministry has a Facebook profile that shows photos, news, links, messages and so on. Checking their profile shows that the New Zealand Music Appreciation Club! and Island Bay Presbyterian Church also have a Facebook presence.

Does your NZ community group have a presence on MySPace, Facebook, iYomu or other social networking site? Let us know in the comments.
