DisEuropa.eu, a free social networking site for disabled Europeans has been launched to connect, share ideas, meet and network.

“Websites for disabled people are often too local or lack decent Social Networking facilities,” says Ben Towbridge who helped develop the idea.

“We wanted a site where people from the disabled community could share ideas across national boundaries. We concentrated on Europe since there is so much work to be done here,” he added. “Groups in Germany can share ideas with people in Greece. A successful initiative in Norway can be spread out and adapted by people in Italy or Spain.”

The site has many social networking features: forums, blogs, a “connect” system to link with friends, a chatroom and so on.

It has also been built to be as accessible as possible. The overall look and design of the site can even be changed by individual users to suit their needs and preferences.

Future plans include sponsoring video documentaries, competitions and ultimately face-to-face get togethers in cities throughout Europe.
