Finnfactstour: Xiha Life a multilingual social network

10.11.2009 | Startups

xihalife_125x28During a coffeebreak at mindtrek our awesome bloggerteam was introduced to Xiha Life ,the worlds first multilingual  social network, that’s targeted at people living outside their home country as well as multilingual people around the world. From my perspective I am so in love with this idea and I can see how it’s useful for a lot of people, but the overall feel and touch could be majorly improved.

Fx I said that I lived in Denmark  and I chose danish as a language – resulting in, that half of my social network was in danish and half of the site was translated into danish and the other halfwas in english. Also it was kind of weird that the people coming into the site don’t really have a chance to find out what they’re looking at until they find the “about us “.

So basically I would say that the site needs a major retouch/strategy redefinition – because the way it looks now I can’t really see it take it to the next level as a startup – however I can really see the use for this kind of community so keep on going strong guys =)

This is a really cool idea… social network for expats. That’s like the most important time you would need a support group, when you’re away from home living somewhere else. That being said, I agree with you Henriette – the site needs help. Great idea thought. Very interesting!
