TipsFor those that own a hoop.la site, I might make the recommendation that you research how to add a robots.txt file to your site. I ran a link checker on my SocialStrata website and I noticed there are a lot of links that would send a search...

Blog Post CommentUseful beginners tips Rosemary. I can relate a little of my own experience here if you don't mind. ( notice the compliment and the almost apologetic way of stepping in Groupee was the first Bloggers site I had ever joined with confidence. It was the newness of the Social network on offer that gave me a feeling of belonging. Prior to that I could not "break the ice" anywhere else. I think blogging is easier than joining a forum. Unless the forum is very specific in it's nature. In a blog you...

Topic ReplyHi ST, we may enable the surveys module...those are some good questions! I think we had done one previously that focused on which social network everyone used the most. Not sure if we'll open permissions for everyone to create surveys, but will definitely consider how we can use them!

Blog Post CommentHI. I work on ACEs Connection and i had tried to log into the Beta site to review the new set up but it seems to not recognize my user name (which is the name that I have in my ACEs Connection Network account). Not sure what to do?

Blog Post CommentOh Rosemary! What a wonderful blog. Very honest and heartfelt. I've never done a social network site... and increasingly I'm glad I don't get tied up in the white noise that people seem to have to deal with. I like a simple existence. I like to be in control of anything I say or post. This isn't a puff piece for LC as some may see it, but I'm comfortable here... and I know it's a social network site too!

Blog Post CommentMy team and I are extremely happy with the new platform, as are the members of our ACEsConnection community. Now that you've opened the floodgates, of course we'll be sending (and already have), a few ideas to continue down the path of making Hoop.la the best white-label social network out there!

Blog Post CommentThe confusion surrounding social marketing is palpable. Whenever I speak with folks they believe it's only about posting to Facebook and Twitter. No one really knows how to engage customers. Now that I am blogging and writing social media posts for clients, it's a longer haul to earn traction. People and companies are so behind and had they engaged 3 years ago when everyone was excited to like, share, follow it would be easier today.

Blog Post CommentP.S. Can I share this on LinkedIn? Or are you not there?
-
Blog Post CommentLinkedIn share button is coming...meanwhile, you can copy paste the URL into the LinkedIn post box and it should work fine (should you be so inclined). And I totally agree that confusion is rampant right now. Seeing the data from this study really gives perspective on how many folks are still figuring it out as they go.

Blog Post CommentHi @Cissy ! The social integrations are enabled at the top community level in the control panel: Basics > Social Networks. For each social network, you can choose Sign-in, Member Profile Links, and/or Social Feed, depending on what's available to us from that social network (every API is different). If you choose member profile links or social feed as an option, your members will see a prompt banner at the top of their profile the next time they go that page, saying something like,...
