What is horsesmouth?

Horsesmouth is a free, social networking site with a real social purpose. It enables secure, private one-to-one mentoring relationships between private individuals sharing the wisdom from their personal experiences.

Horsesmouth does not offer professional advice. Their mentors may be professionals in their own right, but when they register they are operating in a personal capacity and profile themselves according to their own perspective. Nor do they host discussion forums and chatrooms - conversations are one-to-one and people can choose who to talk to via their profiles.

However, they do encourage people to share their conversations with the community and to publish their 'Pearls of wisdom' for all members to browse.
