A new networking site, bongal.com, is set to launch next month which aims to connect people without depending on matching their interests or locations.

Created by Liverpool digital agency Rippleffect, the agency has also developed a video campaign to raise awareness of the site and encourage feedback to aid its development. Competitions will also be run ahead of the launch.

Rory Marshall, co-founder of bongal.com, said: “Bongal.com is designed for the people by the people. It helps bridge social gaps, bringing together like-minded people who have similar interests, opinions and experiences – creating a platform to meet, chat and discover.

“The difference between bongal.com and other social network sites is its ability to educate and encourage people to share knowledge about specific areas of interest. Be it fashion, beauty, the arts or leisure activities such as mountaineering.

“There are no limits to its communication, you don’t have to know somebody or have an association with them, you simply have to have an interest.  An intelligent database collects all user information and connects you to people with similar hobbies, ideas and views.”
