The LinkingCommunities Online Community offers you...

Status Updates

Members can post status updates (like the Facebook wall) on profiles and pages for groups and friends. Status updates fully support comments and email notifications and flow through to the site summary activity stream, giving members a customized view of all their activity

Profiles

Member profile pages are highly configurable and customizable. Members can display an avatar, status updates, friends & group lists, links, photos and posts from the forums.

Discussions

In depth discussions require a full featured forum. Our forums are completely integrated into our online community allowing members to enjoy full featured forum functionality within groups or stand alone as a forum.

Groups

Organizing a community around groups is easy. Public, Private and Invite Only groups allow members to create groups, invite friends and begin building their networks.

Links

Posting links on profiles or groups captures information from the link like title, description and even the option to choose a thumbnail image from the linked page. Like all journal features, other members can easily comment on links.

Friends

Create connections between yourself and other Members through friend relationships. Friends see each other's posts, can post on each other's journals and send each other messages.

Notes

Sometimes you want to post something more than a short status update. Notes allow Members to quickly post titled, longer posts on their profile or on a group journal. Notes provide members a quick way to post something longer than a status update.

Forums

Our Online Community includes our award-winning discussion forum. Forums can be setup stand alone or used within groups. Group forums are integrated into Member's journals.

Documents

Uploading documents is quick and easy for Members. Documents can be uploaded through the journals and made available for download to friends and other group members.

Journals

Some of the most powerful features of our Online Community are the profile, group and summary journals. Members can post quick status updates, links, photos and more on their profile or in a group, and others can easily add comments. Integrated email notifications keep everyone informed, and the Site Summary Journal displays all a Member's activity in one place.

Events

Members can easily create and display events. Invites to friends and entire groups combined with RSVP functionality keep members connected and let event organizers know who's in and who's out.

Messaging & Notifications

Keeps members up to date on new postings, photos, links, forums posts, events & the comments that follow. Private messaging between members includes Member settings for who can PM and supports attachments to Private Messages.

Photos

Member and group photo uploads are easy through the activity journal or through profile and group photo galleries. Create folders, upload photos, comments and more.

Feeds

Members can easily import feeds from internal and external sources such as blogs, news feeds, properties, videos, etc. to profiles and even groups.

Twitter Connected

Profiles and Groups can be connected to Twitter so status messages posted in our Online Commnity can also appear on Twitter automatically.  This is a great way for you use your social network to manage your other networks.
