(PRLEAP.COM) May 2007 – San Jose, California – Bay Area Connect, a free social network, has announced its new site at http://bayarea-connect.com. To celebrate the opening, Bay Area Connect is offering free site membership including blogs, photo uploads, and unique film, video and music sharing to all who sign up.

The site is targeted toward Bay Area residents who want to connect with local people for friends, dating, career networking, and other reasons. With more people coming to Northern California from other areas without family in the area the need to meet up with real, local people is more important than ever.

Some of the things available on the new social network include:
• Groups area where religious organizations, charities, business colleagues, hobbyists, or just groups of friends can create their own “group space”
• Member blogs
• Forum discussion – anyone can request their own forum for their group or interest area
• Film and video uploads / sharing and a special section for filmmakers
• Music sharing geared toward allowing local musicians to spread their music
