How to create your own social system?
Question by cherrysoda: How to create your own social system?
I recently read the Giver and ive been wanting to make my own social “community” ever since i heard what the book is about! I’m not sure if i’d write a book about it, but right now its just for fun. I don’t want you to give me ideas, i just need the basic skeleton each social community/system needs to “survive”
thanks (:

You can’t create your own social system, but you can create your social networking site!
WSS vs MOSS
There is confusion when it comes to Microsoft SharePoint. Most people automatically think of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 Server which is extremely expensive and not Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) which is free! Obviously, you get what you pay for when it comes to features and performance, but WSS is perfect for many companies, especially small to medium-sized organizations that cannot afford the expense that a fullscale SharePoint deployment costs. One of the reasons that makes SharePoint so expensive is its reliance on Microsoft SQL server, which isn’t cheap. The good news about the free WSS is that it uses the free Microsoft SQL Express 2005 database, which is robust enough for most environments.Here are the most important differences between WSS and MOSS.
Search across site collections – In WSS, each site collection is an island unto itself. MOSS adds the portal umbrella that pulls together those separate site collections and allows for searching across them.
Personalization – MOSS allows users to have individual, personalized sites; WSS doesn’t.
User Profiles – MOSS allows you to import, store, and update personal data on your users, it’s not available in WSS
Audience Targeting – MOSS allows you to target content to specific user groups; WSS doesn’t.
Crawl and Index sources outside of SharePoint for searching- MOSS allows you to return search results for indexed sources such as file shares, web sites, Lotus Notes databases, and much more; WSS can only crawl and index WSS sites.
Search administration and customization – MOSS gives its admins much more control over the configuration of its search engine; WSS doesn’t.
Extra Site Templates – MOSS provides additional site templates (and workflows) for content management and portals
Business Intelligence – allows you to track key performance indicators and build BI dashboards into your team site. The dashboards can assemble and display business info using Excel spreadsheets, SQL, or integrate with line of business applications. Excel Services in MOSS go beyond simply displaying Excel spreadsheets, you can actually stream parts of a spreadsheet, showing or hiding various parts.
Note: The crawling, indexing and searching ”weaknesses” of WSS can now be resolved by using Microsoft’s Search Server 2008 Express which is also free! Here is an exhaustive feature comparsion matrix for all SharePoint versions. Also, keep in mind that you can always upgrade from WSS to MOSS if/when the time (and BRINKS truck) comes!
Best Features for the Enterprise Intranet (Social Network)
It is amazing just how many features there are in the free SharePoint version (WSS 3.0 SP1). Most companies make SharePoint their intranet, thus becoming ground central for communication for all employees. Here are the most popular and useful features that you can use with your new SharePoint intranet.
Top Navigational System
There is usually a tab for the main home page and each department. This is merely an example, so the names of the departments and tabs will be different for each company. Here is what the typical navigational system for a SharePoint intranet looks like:

What is social media marketing? What do you do and how much money could you make?
Question by Zeep: What is social media marketing? What do you do and how much money could you make?
My friend just offered me a job on social media marketing, I don’t know too much about it but I could definitely use a second job to get more money. I was told that I could have a 8-9 (1 hour) job which is very puzzling so someone fill me in on it.
Best answer:
Answer by Jake
I’m afraid there are no salary standards for such work, whatever that work is. I have to assume that’s a job where you may participate on sites, joining conversations and mixing some advertising messages. A lot of this work is taken care of by 3rd world outsource worker for a few bucks an hour.
You can find such job descriptions at freelance marketplace sites like odesk.com or freelancer.com (without having to join or log in)
There are also “micro task site”s that pay small change for a few minutes work, the original “Mechanical Turk” was created by Amazon to ‘automate’ tasks a computer couldn’t do, like pick the better of 2 photos, they named mturk.com after the 18th century chess playing machine that had a man hidden inside. Many of the tasks are boosting the popularity of sites by visiting or voting them up, there are also more shady actions they may ask you to take, including signing up for product trials for which they get a commission, your choice. Having Facebook, Google+ and social bookmarking site helps your qualification. Shorttask.com and microworkers.com are similar sites.

Are Social Media and Multimedia just really stupid names?
Question by Mike Clarkson: Are Social Media and Multimedia just really stupid names?
I don’t get why they just can’t call it the internet. Why do they have to slap some stupid sounding label on to the process of the being on the Internet? And even if they had to label it as something, who the hell thought “multimedia” and “social media” would be a good idea? Those titles would be something I’d expect to represent a TV morning show or something. It sounds sooo lame.
Why is the mainstream media referring to the Internet as social media and multimedia? Why not just call it the internet?
Best answer:
Answer by brainiacATwork
The internet as you know has many uses. People do banking, shopping, reading, learning. But one of the major things people use the internet for is to connect to other people, which is a social thing. Certain media such as Facebook and Twitter are prime medias for doing exactly this, connecting to other people. They are Tools that allow the sharing of information and creation of communities through online networks of people.
They aren’t stupid labels, they represent a clear definition of that particular internet medium.

What are the best tools for social media marketing?
Question by Michael: What are the best tools for social media marketing?
I have been trying to promote my site for sometime now and I seem to be going nowhere. I’ve tried several social media marketing products and seek the services of the “experts”, but nothing seems to work. Now, I am just wondering what social media marketing products I can use to promote my website?
Best answer:
Answer by Matthew
You will find many websites selling the “best tools for social media marketing” – or so they claim. I have also tried many products when I started out. I own several websites and I have been discouraged at first when I realized I was spending more than I was earning. I learned social media marketing and search engine optimization the hard way. It might help if you would seek the assistance of the experts. Check out http://www.social.net Maybe they could help you out.
