Online Community & Social Networking Solutions using Ning Development & Ning Social Developers.
Community Wiki
A wiki allows community members to create, collaborate,
and share knowledge simply by creating a set of "living
documents" to which each community member may
contribute.
Moderation Scanner
The moderation scanner enables community administrators
to rapidly scan all user-contributed information in
their community and identify inappropriate content.
Personal User Profiles
Every member of this community is given a personalized
page with which they can provide profile information,
their photo, a personal description, and their
interests. Each member is also given a personal
portfolio where they may upload images, documents,
videos, or any other type of information.
Visual Targeted Matchmaking
The system suggests relevant matches for each individual
via both the web and email (based on both profile and
intentions). People can also search for people
interactively, through the innovative graphical people
map, or by specific searches. The
ning matching takes into
account mutual interests, relevant areas of expertise,
and common profile attributes.
Community Chat
Community members may connect with one another in
real-time, through the Community Chat feature. The
integrated chat system requires no downloads or plug-ins
of any kind. Community administrators may easily create
new chat rooms, as well as track the activity of their
community chats to see which topics are most interesting
to their community.
Integrated Opinion Polls
Community administrators may solicit and understand the
opinions and ideas of their community members by
creating and delivering opinion polls. Multiple polls
may be activated at any time, and all data is summarized
in real-time. At the community owner's discretion, the
results of polls may be shared with the community
at-large.
Private Messaging
Each community member can communicate privately and
directly with any other member of the community.
Blogs
Blogs provide community members with a personal
information-sharing space, in which they may post ideas
and opinions to a personal online journal. Other
community members may provide comments upon each blog
post, providing community members with a space to create
an open dialog.
QuickConnect Cards
By copying and pasting a snippet of code into a
signature file, a blog, or any other external-facing
digital medium, a community member can display a dynamic
profile “card” which invites others to join the
community. This feature empowers your users to help you
drive awareness and adoption of your community.
Multimedia File Sharing
Every user in the ning system has the ability to post content
of any format (video, music, documents, etc.) to their
personal profile page or post files to any group of
which they are a part. All files may be rated and
commented upon by the community.
Customized Notifications
Members can choose to be notified by email when matching
people join the system. Members can also receive email
or subscribe to RSS feeds for any group discussion.
Integrated Keyword Search
The platform supports keyword searching across content
(files names and descriptions) and people in the system.
Through one common search, members may find all of the
following—relevant people, groups, forum posts,
documents, media files, and meetings.
Presence
As people navigate through the community, the system
indicates when another community member is online at
that time.
Discussion Forums
The community platform includes a complete discussion
forum system which allows users to post, reply, search,
and rate messages. In addition, all discussions may be
subscribed to via email or RSS.
Groups Functionality
Administrators or users can set up
ning groups around which
people can post files, engage in discussions and set up
group meetings.
Integrated Calendar Management
All members of a community are given a personal calendar
with which they can schedule meetings with other
community members. Each member may print their meeting
agenda, or export their meetings to Outlook at any time.
File and Discussion Rating System
All community members may utilize the integrated rating
and comment system, which enables members to provide
feedback on discussion posts and files.
Integrated Invitation Management
All community administrators may easily send invitations
to their community by uploading a file listing the
intended recipients. Administrators may optionally
include additional information about each individual so
that their profiles may be pre-populated when they join
the community.
User Roles Management
Administrators can customize each
ning role they wish to
display within the system. Configurable rights provide
fine-tuning so that group participation, meeting
scheduling, and other communication activities may be
defined by role.
Targeted Sponsorship / Advertising engine
Administrators may create ad units that are featured
throughout the site and can include any message
(combination of image, text and link). These ad units
may be used to feature anything from advertiser content,
sponsor messaging, cross-selling messages, or featured
groups within the community. Advertising units can be
broadcast throughout the site for all users to see, or
they may be displayed to only subsets of the community
based upon keywords within a members’ profile.
Community Email Marketing
Administrators can send email communications to the
community – either to members within the community or to
those who have not yet registered. All
ning messaging may be
tailored by the administrator.
Community Activity Reporting
Reporting includes an aggregated overview of most
profile questions, as configured by the client
(including the delta between profile and interests.)
Reports provide information on customer demographics,
activity, and help identify areas of need within a
community. Information may be exported, or interactive
search tools may be used to enable exploration and
insight.
Open API and Widget Toolkit
WorldZOO is committed to open standards so that
customers may refine, extend, and integrate their
community as they see fit. Through an integrated suite
of web service APIs, RSS feeds, and an innovative widget
toolkit, customers can engage and captivate their
customer base like never before.
