SocialGO Blog

CreditCrunched (http://creditcrunched.org) shows just how creative you can be with the SocialGO software. The network was created by an ex-employee of Lehman Brothers, who wanted to provide an online resource for all the banking staff affected by the recent financial turbulence. 

The network already has a really active user base, who are using the forum and the blog to share experiences, lend advice and to discuss topical pieces of news. The owner, Jamie, has provided links to partner sites offering ‘Top City Jobs’ and ‘Top Law Jobs’, and has provided a really targetted news feed to keep members up to date with the most relevant financial news. Jamie has also integrated his blog with the network, and carried the CreditCrunched branding across both.

The network owner has said of SocialGO that he liked “It’s ability to get set up within minutes. The staff are very friendly and supportive and I’m really looking forward to the new functionality that is continually being added.” He added “Overall, SocialGO has saved me potentially £000s in web design and database development, so thanks!”

CreditCrunched has not only used SocialGO to provide a professional resource for members to find new jobs, meet new contacts and lend advice to others affected by the credit crunch; it has provided a social place for members to share stories, vent about recent personal experiences and to lend support to other people in similar situations.
