Social Networks

Every day, hundreds of new Internet communities are springing up to connect far-flung groups who share common interests as vast and diverse as the people who flock to them. In the business world, social networks help professionals share industry expertise and facilitate business networking. Social networks are sources of real revenue, not just fun and games.

Social networks like MySpace and Facebook have created vibrant online communities with members numbering in the millions. Like these sites, thousands of other social networks tend to provide a common set of features, including letting members create profiles, post blogs, participate in forums and share video and images. You can tap into these existing networks or create one of your own and weave together your own community.

To offer these kind of features, social networks rely on carefully designed software engines that can accommodate tens of thousands of simultaneous users and integrate popular tools like YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, and more. Live Oak 360 designed the infrastructure for a fast-growing social network called BattleCry.com. This site was designed for Christian teenagers and now serves over 150,000 members, over 230,000 blog entries, and millions of comments. Live Oak 360 knows what it takes to keep a social network up and running. How can we help you connect?
