Washington, D.C. - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - March 14, 2007 - Web hosting provider and development company, Freewebs.com, an open Internet community platform, has featured a website called “Sit Here” on its homepage, to encourage networking by urbanites and other users of the web site.

The Website, which encourages people to sit on their front stoop and talk to their neighbors, addresses the decreasing culture of social interaction in cities across the United States. The site’s creators formerly coined the movement “Stoop Culture”, and when the Freewebs team came across the site they instantly recognized why it was becoming so popular and why traffic was increasing so rapidly.

Chelsea Briganti, Sarah Feldman, and Essence Rodriguez, students at Parson’s New School of Design, created the website for a class project that asked students to start an awareness campaign of their choice, and that’s when they came up with ‘Stoop Culture’.

Sarah Feldman explained, “Freewebs made it so fast and easy to create our website, and we didn’t have to use codes at all - just a click of a button and we could create a poll, a blog or even a guestbook. We also didn’t have to tell anyone what kind of html codes to use like on MySpace and the Freewebs url looked great on our fliers – it was memorable and easy to understand – simply: www.freewebs.com/sit_here .”

Shervin Pishevar, President of Freewebs added, “Freewebs is an easy-to-use publishing platform which allows everyone - whether it be students, families, small businesses, organizations - to easily create a quality website for free. Sit Here’ is a great call to action and the perfect example of how Freewebs can bring people together to help express their opinions and build a community to support a cause.”

Chris Cunningham, VP Advertising at Freewebs remarked, “This is also a great example of why companies such as Paramount Pictures, Reebok and Sony Pictures are advertising on Freewebs. The users on Freewebs are as inspired as the website building tool is useful.”

Founded in 2001, Freewebs.com offers members a complete personal digital hub that includes web pages, blogs, profile pages, photo sharing, e-commerce, and video, within a unified web presence. The company services more than 14 million users around the globe. Freewebs.com is privately held and based in Silver Spring, Maryland.
