Problem is, conservatives are outnumbered on the web and also conservatives tend to be not as tech savvy. Most of my "facebook friends" are family and more than half are millennials.

I think a viable replacement would have to be along the lines of family as opposed to being all about the self (image).

The economy is forcing multiple generations to live together once again. Time to leverage that since the whole family unit thing is under attack. With ancestry/genealogy being fairly popular, the "family" gets pretty big. My sister's into genealogy and I've learned about cousins I didn't know I had, though I still know nothing about them. It's somewhat likely though that my line of thinking wouldn't be too far off from theirs. I would think some kind of system based on family could be made and instead of being like facebook where "friend suggestions" are based on other friend's friends, it could be based on familial relations. Familysearch.com has an API for accessing genealogical data and that could be used for friend suggestions I think. Not sure if it can be used without ending up as advertising for them though. If not, some sort of data sources and algorithm could be made to suggest friends based on surname and geographical location or other collected data. (google has it all)

All that would be pretty complex though but at least an emphasis on family would be better than freaks and fads. The internet is good for bridging distances. Imagine having a family with 100 members. Security/share settings based on immediate or extended family etc. Then of course people could add people based on "friend of the family" or "like family". That way you're not locking people out because they have no family.

Blood is thicker than water

I think Daniel Greenfield's assessment of Facebook is spot on: it has become less a user-driven forum than a "new media" vehicle that simply propagates all the "old media" biases. It is not about people -- or families -- anymore, except coincidentally. It is about Big Traffic, a corporate medium designed to advance all the same liberal agenda items the dying media embraced.

Any new version of Fakebook would need to incorporate the ideas you suggest -- family relationships among them -- to be successful, especially if it was being targeted toward conservatives.

But I disagree with your statement that conservatives are not tech savvy. The internet has enabled a lot of conservative thought, and like talk radio, it has become a vessel through which like ideologies can connect.
