New website for deaf people is launched
December 29, 2007
York, UK: A website which gives deaf and hard of hearing people an opportunity of making online friends has been launched.

Deafies.co.uk aims to be a one-stop shop for everything a deaf person may need.

There's news, forums, blogs and other facilities and attractions are in the pipeline.

A spokesman for the site said: "The reaction so far has been favourable and we have some great ideas for the site in the coming weeks and months."

One of those ideas is to introduce a facility by which deaf people can communicate via webcam.

The spokesman added: "We think this would be a great way for deaf people to interact and make friends - which is the purpose of the site.

"Deafies is run by deaf and hard of hearing people and we are learning how to create and run a site as we go along."

Deafies is particularly keen to hear from other organisations which serve the deaf community so they can place links on their site as a service to deaf people generally.
