In order to become a part of the community and use all features, you will need to download an application designed for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The net4mac application allows you to...

• Create an account and login to the service (internet connexion required).
• Create your profile including your location, job, activities, skills and the type of Macs, iPhone, iPod, etc. that you own.
• Add friends to your profile and manage them (remember, the service is only for Mac users).
• Contact members, send invitations to join the community, and manage your messages.
• Create your own groups of interest and invite friends to join them (people using the same application, in your same location, sharing the same passions, etc).
• Browse and join groups you find interesting - share discussions, events and more!
• Create events and invite Mac users (this is useful if you want to announce the presentation of a product / service, etc)
• Search members using different criteria (for example, you can find people that use the same Mac or software)
• Discover people around you (other Mac users in your neighborhood)
• Get special offers from our partners

There are many good reasons to use an application instead of a website:

• Better integration between Mac OS X technologies and the features.
• The community is easy to access from the Dock.
• You can send invitations using your AddressBook
• You can add/remove members with public profiles to/from your AddressBook.
• You can add a picture to your profile or a group from your webcam!
• You can see the number of messages in your dock (like Apple mail)
• Check out the application and see for yourself!
