Today's interactive web (web 2.0) is exploding. From Facebook and Twitter to highly vertical markets the world is coming together to share thoughts, ideas, jokes, concerns, problems and solutions of all manner via membership-based social software sites.
Pacific Data Capture has been involved in social-style networking for in excess of 20 years; first with moderation and hosting of e-mail forums and lists, through creation and hosting of interactive "content management" or CMS systems for public and private use, to WIKIs and now the latest in social software platforms. From conception to design, creation, hosting, moderation and training, social software of all manner requires a deep understanding not only of the people and concepts, but also of the technical and facilities used to host the sites.
Social software is far more technically intense than sites that simply serve up static pages of information. They are interactive and can require some fairly sophisticated underlying technologies if they are to successfully host thousands and tens of thousands of active members. In addition, there are ongoing security concerns that must be monitored and dealt with if the site is to gain and maintain a reputation as a good site to deal with; not one that is full of spam and hacked content or compromised files with viruses and worse in them.
Richard Pitt and the Pacdat team can help you decide which of many platforms will work best with your goals in mind and resources available. We can also work with you to deal with success that might require your moving an existing site to new hosting facilities, either our own chosen suppliers or others, and ongoing monitoring and interaction while the site continues to grow and prosper. Taking the technical load off your mind is our goal and forte so you can concentrate on interacting with and growing your membership.
We are intimately familiar with most of the current open source CMS and Social software packages, from Geeklog/GLfusion to Drupal and the latest social site development platform, ELGG
We're currently working with a number of clients, some of whom are serving literally millions of visitors each month. Can we help you with your site?
