Downelink.com or DL is a social website similar to
MySpace but with more limited options for customization.
DL'
s primary users are either downe or a member of the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgendered Community though the occasional straight "
Fag/Stag
Hag" can be found.
A majority of the members are Black,
Asian (primarily
Filipino and Vietnamese) and Latin. White members are uncommon.
Features of the site include Bulletins, Missed Connection (to post ads of personal interests...though it's usually not used for that purpose), Videos, Photos, News Updates, Groups, Chatting, Blogs and Flirting function to search for downelink members in your area.
Here is a excerpt from the site:
"DowneLink is an online LGBT community that allows users to interact with one another through social networks and resources. The foundation of DowneLink is to provide a space for Downe people and their friends to exchange ideas, build friendships, and utilize
local and nationwide services. As with any community, we hope to grow and introduce new and innovative services that
will suit their wants and needs.
Whether it is meeting new people, keeping in touch with
old friends, searching for the best cafes or discussing your views on life, DowneLink is your online gay community for communication and resources."
