Rantiq (www.rantiq.com), a social networking system, said it gives users a place to share all their social networking information in one profile. By allowing users to link out to other websites, Rantiq provides an outlet to view and organize one's online life in a single destination. Users can include links to all their social networking profiles, blogs, photos, videos, favorite websites, personal homepages, and more.

"Today's internet users are a part of multiple social networks. Our goal is to provide people an outlet to share all aspects of their social networking activities," said Founder and CEO, Enoch Lee. "While most social networks focus on their own internal network of friends, Rantiq encourages users to engage in multiple external networks and share that information in their Rantiq profile."

Rantiq has introduced new controls for social networking privacy and content creation. Up to 15 separate profile sections are configurable for privacy. Users apply these settings to their friends by creating a privacy group. When friends are put into these groups they can only see what their friend allows them to see. The profile sections are moved via a drag-and-drop interface, giving users the ability to create a customized profile. "By combining customization with advanced privacy options, users have complete control over their profile layout and their personal information," said Enoch Lee.

Rantiq's key features include:

--  Inclusion to link out to other social networks and sharing websites.
--  Privacy control for 15 separate profile sections, letting users define which sections their friends can view.
--  Drag-and-drop interface for building a customized profile layout.
--  Video embedding system with the ability to embed up to 100 videos inone profile section. Visitors select videos by clicking on its number.
--  Ajax-driven web application. Rantiq uses AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript And XML) technology, improving load times and giving users a faster way to edit their profile. AJAX technology helps avoid constant page refreshes that are usually performed when new data is created, changed, or navigated through.
