An Overview Of Our Social Networking Community



The fun begins when you start to upload your photos. Our clean and fast photo uploader helps you to easily upload a bunch of photos at once. It automatically queue up the photos and upload them one by one. Your server will thank us for that. Uploaded photos will be shown up as thumbnails so you can easily check if you've missed any photo.
Viewing photos on JomSocial is a pleasant experience, even when your Internet connection is slow. Thanks to AJAXified photo viewer, the next photo will be displayed without page reload. This will save bandwidth, use less server resource and it is much faster. You can tag your friends, wait for your friends to comment and reply to their comments.
Uploaded photo can be arranged to your liking. How? Just drag and drop into the correct order and you are done. After that, don't forget to choose the best photo to be the album cover.
Built into Community is a fully featured video capability, ranging from embedding videos to hosting your own. We provide everything that you need!
Our Community supports external video linking. Be it video from Youtube, Vimeo or 10 other major video providers, your video will be always elegantly embedded on your profile or group pages, complete with viewing stats, thumbnail and commenting system. You can also feature those cool videos linked by your friends and group members.

Our community members can display their original videos that you can upload or embed content from other networks. Members can upload to multiple public or private albums.

Stumbled upon amazing street dance or that funny sneezing panda video? Let your friends in Facebook or twitter know by using our sharing tool. Par Excellence Magazine's Community supports more than 20 social bookmarking sites.

Video and other pages in our Community are equipped with a reporting tool. Members can report any offending video or photo. We can check the report page on the backend and take necessary steps to make sure your Community site is clean and safe.

Those little avatars you see at profile pages, they are too common. Now you can sizzle up you profile page with a profile video! Introduce yourself, create your version of a Lady Gaga song, post your favorite movie trailer or anything; be more than just a picture.
Successful social networks will have a tremendous growth in membership. New members will keep coming in and at some point, it becomes harder to interact with everyone. Groups to the rescue! With Groups you can recreate a smaller community and make it personal again. Since a group is made up of members who share the same interests, they will surely make an engaging bunch.
Make it public or private, it can be fun either way. Public group can be joined by any site members so this is perfect if you want to create a fan club of yourself. If you would like to create a secret society and plan a world take over, private group is what you are looking for. It allows you to hand pick your members.
Each group can have their own Photo and Video gallery. You can share the media with your group members. As an admin, you can set to limit media sharing to admins only or open to all group members.
Wall post is a general message board while discussion board is more to topic-specified discussion. These are the essential tools to keep your group active.
As an admin, you hold the power and responsibility to moderate all contents in your group. You can promote additional admins to help you with this great task. As an option, admins can be set to receive notification of new content or new join request.

Everyone loves to find out the up to the minutes’ activities on your community, such as latest wall posts, blog entries, comments, pictures, and videos shared by the members.
The Par Excellence Magazine's Community activity stream system summarizes and displays all activities on one page with links to all of the original items. While the system automatically summarizes the content for the activities to reduce redundancy, it allows you further customize your activity stream features such as aggregated activities and integrate with user points system.
Whether it's a gorgeous photo or a funny reply, you will get a sneak peak of it. Current version of activity stream will tell you more about new comments, videos, photos or discussions posted so you can check the interesting ones or ignore rest.

One great way to encourage members participation is to reward members with points. Our user points system allow you to reward points to user activities, the more activities the user, the more points are being rewarded.
