About
Hi. Welcome to fiskbook. Here at fiskbook, we pride ourselves on being better than facebook. That’s because we don’t tell you about what we had for dinner, or who our favourite X Factor contender is. We leave that to facebook. We also promise never to lol. That’s a facebook thing too. You see, already, you can understand the virtues of fiskbook over facebook.
