    First Q&A Workshop A HUGE Success!

    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

     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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.
