Social Networking is driving web traffic and defining new rules for doing business online.
Viz Community Expansion enables you to harness the power of your communities and helps you to foster new ones.
Viz Community Expansion lets users voice their opinions and share their own comments and stories on your platform, facilitating collaboration and user generated content, enabling you to benefit from the Web 2.0 phenomenon.
Viz Community Expansion provides the toolkit for building tailor-made online communities – from adding simple discussion forums to your publications to creating comprehensive, independent communities inspired by sites such as MySpace and Facebook.
Viz Community Expansion supplies key features for state-of-the-art community building.
Communities and editorial sites share the same content repository allowing for re-purposing of content and idea exchange.
All content, whether editorial or user generated (UGC), can be seamlessly integrated – including text (stories, blogs, comments, discussions, etc.), images, video, sound and custom content types.
All types of content may be managed directly in the community or editorially in Escenic Content Studio.
Each of the Escenic Community Engine modules provide a specific community functionality. Modules can be used separately in different Escenic Content Engine publications. Some of the modules are dependent on other modules and can only be used together - the profile module is needed for networking, and so on.
The modules use the Escenic Content Engine API to communicate with Escenic Content Engine, making them compatible with future versions of the Escenic Content Engine.
The modules have their own JSP tag libraries, providing template developers with powerful and flexible tools for creating a feature-rich online communities.
