Social networks help you engage and grow your audience by giving them a sense of identity and ownership. Turn every visitor into an active community member by allowing them to:
- Create customizable profile pages
- Connect with friends and make new ones
- Display their favorite media, blogs and podcasts
- Exchange private messages
- Form groups around their favorite topics
- Integrate with Facebook and Twitter
- And more...
Operate your own social network or online community for your audience members and fans. Enable them to connect with others that share similar interests and express themselves about their passion through your brand.
Activities: Through features like Commenting & Rating, user-generated content (photos, blogging, video and audio uploads), contests, polls, games, and events, you'll trigger deep levels of engagement from your audience and fans. This will drive deeper connections between your web site's members and your brand.
Content Publishing: Content today is highly dynamic and integrates editorial and user-contributed content. We can provide a 100% solution that includes editorial and member contributed content all through a single, integrated system.
Audience and Member Insight: Our applications are one of the most effective ways of creating web experiences that engage audiences and fans. These interactions generate an immense amount of valuable actionable data and insight which can be used to improve editorial programming, more targeted advertising and sponsorships, and marketing and promotions.
Our Open Architecture philosophy has resulted in a breadth of features that is unmatched in the industry. As a result, we're able to deliver a virtually unlimited range of apps on our platform (our own and third party apps) with a large number of 'core' and custom apps. Also, we support Single Sign-On to enable a seamless user experience with your existing member database or 3rd party websites, including Facebook and MySpace.
In addition to the many core applications that we've created for our Social Networking Platform, we've developed an open plugin architecture which will afford virtually unlimited extensibility of Applications. This open approach enables us to create any application as a plugin and to make that application available to our client base.
