The iPhone and iPod Community network was created off the backs of millions of passionate Apple users who love to discuss the latest developments of iPhones and iPods. With over 8 million new iPhones sold in 2008 alone, a huge group of iPhone users, application developers, and fans was born.
Kim Schneider, the network creator, thought a traditional online forum was needed; however, he wanted to provide fellow enthusiasts with more. He wanted to provide a place to share media and interact on a more personal and direct level than a public forum. Using SocialGO, the iPhone and iPod Community created an online space for members to publish background wallpapers, instructional videos about their iPhones and iPods, create and join sub-groups relating to specific apps and interests, and to direct message each other with support and tips.
Kim says, ‘I set up my forum with a social network in no time - and I have very little technical experience! Since then it has effectively run itself by attracting really keen and loyal members who constantly keep the network active and filled with new content. SocialGO has a really advanced forum system which I loved, and coupling this with all the great features of a social network, as well as the fact that I was easily able to translate my network into German, means SocialGO now provides the perfect service for my members.’
Kim Schneider’s story illustrates how any community that is passionate about discussing a special interest can effectively use SocialGO’s social networking software to bring it all together.

In my case the site http://www.iSn0w.de helped me with my iPhone & iPod Touch. They gave me useful information.
