      Facebook Connect - Don't Miss Out!

      Published by: Henry M on Thursday 12th November 2009 02:11pm

      Say hello to the new Facebook Connect!

      facebook-logo.jpg

      We've been ecstatic over the popularity of our recently released Twitter Connect widget - it means that SocialGO network owners are tuning in to the importance of Social Media integration in their communities.

      fblogin.pngTo follow suit, we've just launched our   Facebook Connect widget.  How does Facebook Connect enhance a Social Network? Facebook reports it’s user base to be over 300 million users, and that connected users create 15-60% more content on external sites than non connected users. By increasing traffic, user engagement, and registrations, it can significantly affect your revenue and increase monetization opportunities.


      All it takes is a quick Log-in to Facebook, an Email confirmation, and they're in. It's available in the Widget Store in your Admin Centre now.

      Published by: Alex H on Thursday 5th November 2009 07:11pm
      I think it is safe to say that our first SocialGO Workshop was a great success! We will certainly be running another one again very soon and we will be posting up some follow-up answers and material on the Owners' blog tomorrow as well as a summary of the topics covered.

      Once again, thanks for everyone who turned up and next time we will work out how to make a bit more structured. :)  Thanks to canada.rob for these kind words!

      November Goodies

      Published by: Alex H on Monday 2nd November 2009 12:11pm
      We have set a fairly ambitious release roadmap for November and December and here is a sneak peak of 6 of the great new features and updates coming to SocialGO. 

      1. Chat Room

      Screen shot 2009-11-02 at 12.11.18.png

       A fantastic multi-user chat room where you can talk with everyone in your network and even spin-off to your own private chats!

      2. API Docs

      Screen shot 2009-11-02 at 12.18.46.png

      We are launching a set of documentation for the SocialGO API allowing you to make API calls to your network from any third party application. You can import members, build your own off-site widgets and even sync data with external  data sources.

      3. Facebook Connect



      Much like our Twitter Connect widget, the Facebook Connect widget will allow your members to login directly to your  network using their Facebook details.

      4. Contact Importer v2

      emailIcon.png

      We are working hard on a new contact importer which will allow you to not only Import Webmail Contacts but will also allow you to Invite Social Networking Contacts too! Time for your networks to go viral.... :)

      5. Internationalisation

      Screen shot 2009-11-02 at 12.39.31.png

      We are working through your networks to complete  internationalisation of all the corners of code including emails, error messages, forms and feedback. This is not only good news for our hundreds of non-English networks but also for those of  you who with to personalise messages for your network.

      5. More AJAX

      We are reworking the way that requests and messaging work to make them more responsive. This was a heavily requested feature.  

      6. New In-Browser Chat
      As well as our shiny new chat room, we are hoping to launch a shiny new in-browser chat experience for text-chat among your users. Get ready for your visitor times to explode. More details in the coming weeks. 

      More things being announced and launched soon! Don't forget to pop along to our workshop later in the week for more information or to ask any questions you my have.

      October 26th Release

      Published by: Alex H on Monday 26th October 2009 02:10pm

      Today we pushed a new maintenance release of your SocialGO Network code which includes a number of fixes to your networks including : 

      - On approval of video and photo items, an activity feed item will now appear. 

      - Sub-content of tabs is now controlled by member levels. If you were to limit the access to the videos tab, all sub-videos will also be limited. 

      - Future dated blog posts now appear in the magazine only when their post date is reached. 

      - The event invite friends function now works correctly for all events. 

      - Group locations now display correctly for group members. 

      - New members joining the network get a homepage activity feed entry. 

      - Editing a comment on the videos page now works in Internet Explorer. There was an issue with the video appearing over the edit box. 

      - Approving members within the Member Manager or Resetting their password now sends them an email confirming the change.

      Update on Outage

      Published by: Stivi on Tuesday 20th October 2009 05:10pm
      Hi All,

      We are pleased to announce that the small number of networks that were effected by the server problem last night are now fully back in business.  We are very sorry for this inconvenience.

      Also, we are just doing some maintenance on the Admin Centre at the moment and while we do this your Admin Centre will be in maintenance mode.  They will be back up very soon.

      Today's Outage

      Published by: Alex H on Monday 19th October 2009 09:10pm
      Hello all,

      Today a portion of SocialGO networks where offline due to a hardware failure on one of our core systems. We are investigating the root cause of the issue and are taking steps to ensure it does not happen again.

      The development team is making good progress getting the chat, FaceBook and various other widgets ready for launch in the next few releases.

      Thanks for your patience this evening.
