webNetwork

For this new version of webNetwork, we’ve totally revamped the Groups sections. In 1.0, groups could only have photos uploaded. We’ve expanded this to include music, videos, events, comments and themes.

• Music uploads allow members to upload a music clip, and embed it into the group page.

• Video uploads allow the same functionality as the videos, with our new Flash player embedded as well.

• Group events allow the moderator to alert members of new group related events about to happen.

• Comments allow members to post comments to the group, just like they do now within profiles.

• Groups can also have their own custom themes, just like members can have custom profiles.

This should make the Groups section a much more attractive part of your site that your members will love!

Converting videos to Flash, and playing them back in a Flash video player has been one of our most requested features. This new addition allows your members to upload a video clip in virtually any format supported by FFMPEG (required for the video conversions), and automatically convert the video to a Flash format. In addition, our software will also automatically grab a frame from the video which will be used as the video thumbnail. This removes the step of having to upload a thumbnail for each video. Included below is a screenshot of the converted video, embedded in our new Flash video player. Let us know what you think!

One of the most commonly asked questions about webNetwork that we receive is “how can I contact all of my members to make an announcement?”. We haven’t had a great answer to that question, until now.

webNetwork 2.0 will feature a Newsletter feature which will allow you to email large groups of members. You can email all members at once, or to specific profile types. For example, if you want to encourage musicians to upload new music and sell their songs through our webStore software, you can select “Musician profiles” and easily send out a quick mailing. The newsletter feature supports HTML emails, and you can optionally export the entire list of members to a tab delimited file which allows for easy importing into other applications.

One of the most important surrounding emerging social networking sites today is privacy. Members want to be able to make sure their data is kept protected from strangers, and control what content unknown browsers see.

For this reason, we are excited to announce that we will be releasing a new privacy feature in the upcoming webNetwork 2.0. This will allow your members to configure various aspects of their content and set specific privacy settings for each. Let’s take a quick look at what the new feature has to offer.

As you can see, there are four areas where privacy settings can be configured.

Personal Information – This allows your members to hide their name, address, etc and only display it to friends.

Additional Information – This includes sections such as their education, employment information, and pretty much anything else that’s filled out during the profile creation process besides the Personal Info.

My Content – Control if the public can see your blog posts, photos, videos, etc.

My Profile – Make your profile available to the public or friends only.

We’re really excited about this feature, and hope you are too. Let us know what you think and leave a comment!

The social networking industry has changed drastically in the last year, and to follow some of the newest trends, we are going to be releasing a new version of webNetwork very soon. Thanks to all who have submitted their suggestions, we could not have done this without you!

One of the biggest problems our customers seem to be facing is starting their social networking site and getting members to join. To help you in the process, we’re releasing a new feature which allows your members to automatically invite everyone from their email address book. This is going to be compatible with the major email providers: Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, and GMail. Your members will be able to invite their friends to join your site with the click of button. All they need to do is enter their email address and password for the email provider, and webNetwork will retrieve their entire address book. After that, your members can send an invite to everyone in their address book, or select specific people. This should be a big help in getting a jump start to building you member base, and we hope you like the feature!

We’re excited to announce the release of an integration between webNetwork and webStore! The addition of webStore is a great way to make additional revenue from your existing webNetwork user base.

webStore allows you to easily start a web based store for selling photos, music, videos, or any other digital media. Photographers, film makers, and musicians can all use this software to sell their work online. Our shopping cart allows site owners to sell both digital files and physical goods. Unlike traditional online stores, webStore is specifically tailored to selling digital media online, making it fast, simple and easy to do!

The integration between webNetwork and webStore will create a username in both software packages whenever a user signs up for either. Existing webNetwork members can also be imported into the webStore database. Musicians who sell music can do so right on your site and a link in their profile will show up for their store.

For more information on webStore, click here.

Live Video

Let members view each other’s pictures in real time with our Live Video plugin! Members simply need to download a Windows based application that we provide you with and have a web cam ready to stream their videos.

We are currently running a special bundled price of $174 for both plugins together. Click here to see a full list of plugins available for webNetwork. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
