Danny Dera

Social Nework Innovator Danny Dera of OArabs.com

It used to be that Type-A personalities could probably boast about having more friends than the average person. But in the era of social networks, even the biggest recluse can have friends in the hundreds (some of them could even be celebrities!). It’s another facet of the digital divide, having too many friends to truly build/maintain a relationship with (let alone meet). Oarabs.com is trying to change that. Founded in August 2005, Oarabs.com, with a team of innovators like Danny Dera, 28, wants to bridge the online world with the real world. The emphasis isn’t on having a laundry list of virtual friends, but on making tangible connections: finding people with similar interests that you’ll actually plan to meet and do activities with. No more hiding behind the computer. Learn more about Oarabs.com and Danny in this week’s Young & Professional Profile.
