Every Brand or Organization Can Have their Own Social Community with New Open Source Social Networking Platform, SocialABC.com

Creating a branded social community is now cost effective with social networking platform NetworX from SocialABC. After building social networking communities for their clients, SocialABC has released an open source version. Social networks provide regular interactions with customers and are an ideal way to build loyalty and interest.

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2009 -- After building several custom versions of a social networking platform (http://www.socialabc.com) for their clients, SocialABC now offers an open source version of their software. Organizations can build their own social networking web site to interact with their customers and fans online. The software is free to download.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of social media is its ability to facilitate conversations between brands and their audiences. Many customers and clients not only prefer but often expect to be able to interact with brands they like. They want to communicate with a company and share their feelings and thoughts about it and with others who share the same enthusiasm.

"With SocialABC brands can build, manage and monetize their own communities. It's like Facebook but the company or organization has much more control over the interaction and experience. The software is easy to use and you don't need an IT department to manage it," said Rafael Soultanov, CEO of SocialABC.

"With SocialABC you can start an online community for your family, club or professional organization within minutes. We offer more than 30 features which can be added or removed to fit the needs of your community," said Soultanov. Features include forums, blogs, an inbox and ways to share files including images and video.

Rather than charging up-front, SocialABC offers consulting and support services through Solve IT Labs (http://solveITlabs.com). With Solve IT's expertise businesses can further customize their social network.

Examples of branded social networks:

• Colleges who create a network to enable communication between students and the college. The network provides a way for current students, alumni, parents, employers and the community to interact.

• Wine enthusiasts who help people build their own commercial wine business. Through the social network winemakers have access to renowned California vineyards, professional winemakers, information and winemaking supplies.

• A tax professional creates a community to give tax information and provide guidance to clients including insights into tax planning, liabilities and strategies.

• A niche online dating community that has matching, voting and other features for its members to learn about and communicate with each other.
