Merry Christmas Yowlinkers; All the Best for 2014

A trying year it has been but, on behalf of Yowlink, here’s wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the best for 2014.

May the new year catch you in good health, a good mood, a new suit, and a new boot.  But, also, we wish for better and more consistent participation by the Caribbean community on Yowlink.  This is your free Caribbean network with your best wishes in mind.

Making a Difference

Yowlink, is the free social and information network that makes a difference with information from the Caribbean and the world, pointers, discussions, etc.  In addition, people can create links, groups, forums, topics, etc., marketing their goods and services, and touting their interests FREELY and WITHOUT CHARGE.  Reach 75,000+ unique members, and 1 million others who visit but don’t sign up.

That said, Yowlink does not promote any form of “slackness” and will ban members and remove their groups, etc., if they violate the terms of Yowlink.

Who should join Yowlink?

If you are 18+, sign in once a week to keep things moving in a positive direction.  Don’t forget to complete the required elements in your profile.

This is not an exclusive site but we deal with topics in the news, particularly in the Caribbean and we feel that children under 16 are not mature enough to be members of Yowlink or mingle with the more adult crowd and the many distractions.  But when you get to 16-17, ask your parent(s) / guardian(s) for permission before signing up on Yowlink.

Typically if you are at any of the following institutions, you should be 18+ and you should join Yowlink and help make the Caribbean better with discussions ideas, while getting answers on topics, sharing ideas about good books, subject matters, college/university, jobs, job outlook, etc.
