Why not check out SocialGO Concierge where we setup, design and configure your network for you!
Every member of your network has their own personal space (their profile). It lists their friends on your network, the content they’ve added, recent activity and piles of other handy stuff. Of course, they can customize their profile and privacy settings any way they want.
Never forget another email address! Members can message each other one-to-one or send bulletins to their friends, groups, events or everyone and their dog at once. Group and event owners can send big, fat, large announcements to your members too...
Instant messaging conversations between members with the choice to view audio and video as well. ‘Ho hum’ you say? Well… we’re not done yet. With SocialGO® there is no need to install any software (unlike Skype)... it just works!
Members are able to create sub-groups within your network. Within sub-groups, members can still do all the things they’ll come to love from SocialGO® - share photos, message each other, start forum discussions & blogs, and organize events. Groups can be invitation only or totally open.
You can easily plan and organize events on your network. Your members can choose to attend them, they can invite other members and then show the event location on a map. During (and after) the event, they can share photos and message each other.
Upload photos to your profile and sort them into handy albums too. They appear on the homepage activity feed and also in the Photo tab where other members can comment on them.
If debate is the cornerstone of a civilized society… then we’re certainly doing our bit. SocialGO® allows members to easily set up forums initiating discussions. Others can then join in and post responses and get the debate cracking. Every group also has their own private forum.
The news aggregator provides you with the tool to have one area on your site where you can post any web feeds (RSS) for your members that you want to. News stories, blogs, forums, links can all be zipped up onto your network for members to read. A new media magnate is born. Move over Mr Murdoch.
Your members fancy themselves as salubrious scribes? No problem… every member has their own personal blog (with photos, videos and other rich content) on their profile. They also have the option to submit blogs into a communal magazine tab which you have the option of moderating.
You can easily provide every member of your group with their own personal space (their profile) within your SocialGO® site. In this space sits their friends, the content they’ve added to the network and piles of other nifty stuff. Of course, they can customize their profile and privacy settings any way they want. The Wall is another super useful tool much like a personal guestbook where members can leave messages on your profile. A bit handier than anything that Pink Floyd chap was on about then…
Bulletins are short messages members can send to their friends, group members, event attendees or across the whole network. They are a brilliant way of sending information to large groups of people quickly and easily.
If another member of the network is online, you can start a real-time IM (that’s just short for ‘Instant messaging’) conversation with them. This can be a text chat only or in full video and audio. There’s no software to install, all you need is your browser.
Members of your network can send messages to each other through SocialGO® and keep track of their messages in a conversation view. Group and event owners can message all their members and attendees. You, as the network owner, can message everyone at one time if you choose to. Members receive an email to tell them when a new message is waiting for them.
Let the minions organize themselves! Members are able to create sub-groups within your network. (You do, of course, have the control to delete these groups if you want.) Within sub-groups, members can still do all the things they’ll come to love from SocialGO® - share photos, message each other, start forum discussions & blogs, and organize events. Groovy.
Members can easily plan and organize events on your network. Your members can choose to attend them and RSVP, they can invite other members and show the event location on a map. You can even have an application-only guest list if you choose to. Everyone can share photos of the event and message each other before, during and after it.
Your homepage has a constantly updating activity feed. New members, blog posts, new photos and loads more are all up to date every second of every day. And, all this activity is accessible by RSS. So you can keep updated anywhere in the world!
All members can upload photos to their profiles, groups or events. These are easily organized into albums and you can share them with other members who can then view and comment on them. Nicely. Of course.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, well then a video must be worth millions. You can add YouTube videos to your blogs or just upload movie files to your profile.
Hanging with your friends? Chilling on a tropical beach? On top of the world and want that world to know? Well, simply update your personal status on SocialGO® and you’re on top of Everest with a bull-horn. So to speak.
Your members fancy themselves as blogger superstars? No problem… every member has their own personal blog on their profile. They can drop in photos, videos and other rich content as easily as pie. If they’d like to get their blogs to a wider audience, they also have the option to submit any blog into a communal Magazine tab which you can divide into categories and setup approval rules.
Debate. The cornerstone of civilized society. Well… we’re doing our bit. SocialGO® allows members to easily set up forums initiating discussions. Others can then join in and post responses. They can even subscribe to forum updates, so they’ll know immediately the discussion hots up again! Forums can be private (for members or a particular sub-group) or public (for the other 5,784,987,550).
All relevant web content for your group (news, blogs, forums, links, videos, etc.) can be aggregated on your SocialGO® network for your members to read. Not familiar with RSS? No problem… you can use the Google News search engine to easily create custom news results for the things that matter most to your members. Brilliant!
You can choose exactly who you want to join your network by either password protecting the signup or, if you’d like to be in more control, approving every member personally.
You can delete any inappropriate content on your network and suspend any odious members. And if you need any help, you can elect other people to become your moderators too. As a network owner you can easily set SocialGO® to only activate groups, events and magazine content when YOU are happy with it.
What about the network you already have in address book form? No problem! You can import all your contacts into your new SocialGO® network manually, from your existing webmail, Microsoft Outlook or any of your Windows address books. Easy, simple and safe.
Charge your members to access your network. Simply setup and account with Clickandbuy.com or PayPal.com and have your members pay a fee to access either the whole network or part of the network! You can charge people a monthly or weekly fee and make it optional or required.
You know what you need and SocialGO® respects that. It gives you the tools to easily make those needs a reality. Using the powerful customisation tools, you can make your site look exactly how you want. Careful… this much creative freedom can be bad for your health!
Why stop at what your site looks and feels like? You can add your own sponsors, images, text or anything you like throughout your network to make it truly personal. You can even customize the default help text. We meant it when we said complete customization.
We’re not done yet lovely people! With SocialGO® you have the ability to actually change the structure of your entire network. Want your blog or forum as your homepage? Or maybe you want to rename entire sections and even disable some? No problem! It’s super easy with our powerful ‘Tabs & Features’ interface. This is what makes SocialGO® the world’s first truly flexible social website creator that fits your needs perfectly.
The SocialGO API gives you the ability to manipulate members, media and notifications for users. For more information please go to API Access in the SocialGO Admin Center.
Want people to automatically be signed in to your network? No problem. Using the API you can get a 1-time use URL which you can redirect the user to which will log them straight in.
You can disable the SocialGO stylesheets and use your own, giving you complete control over the look and feel.
You own all the data on your network. We don't advertise to your members, try to get them to join other SocialGO networks or do anything else which will cause them to leave. You can export your data anytime using the API or Export Network Data which is vital if you want the freedom.
Add fantastic widgets to your network which give your members new functionality and you more control. Examples of current widgets include, Advertising Managers (Labads), Advanced Navigation Control (LabTabs), Single Login for multiple networks and more!
