Zaadz - a Spiritual Social Networking Website

Quite a few social networking websites have developed over the past few years. Most recently Zaadz, a new social networking website dedicated to social networking for spiritual people.

Their mission is simple, but rather large in scope: They are going to change the world. Their website lists their mission as "Our math goes like this: you be the change + you follow your bliss + you give your greatest strengths to the world moment to moment to moment + we do everything in our power to help you succeed + you inspire and empower everyone you know to do the same + we team up with millions like us = we just affected billions = we (together) changed the world." A very inspiring mission indeed.

Their name comes from a Dutch word zaad meaning "seed". Zaadz reminds us that within a seed there is great potential and that this reminds us of the great potential within each and every one of us.

Zaadz reminds me of transformational leaders, such as Ghandi and Martin Luther King, Jr., because they inspired their followers to also become leaders and this is what Zaadz is calling for its members to do: to become leaders of their own type in helping to make the world a better place. They describe their site as "social networking with a purpose" and they certainly have a lot of drive and passion behind their mission. They have created a space for people who value things such as love and kindness and courage and compassion - to connect with each other. When you sign on to Zaadz for the first time, you agree to help keep Zaadz a sacred space. That certainly is not the typical "terms and conditions" that most social networking websites ask you to agree to.

You can sign up for an account with Zaadz and you get a blog, your own page and the ability to invite friends. There are pages to list events that would appeal to others at Zaadz. There are also what are called zPods, groups of members at Zaadz all interested in specific things.

There is also a section to list inspiring quotes, or books that you like and think that other people would enjoy. This is a wonderful resources for members.
