Features

Many community sites allow users to participate in a forum or leave comments, but fewer actually allow and encourage active participation in the complete content of the website. Some websites provide information in a list or a map, but don't allow the community to update, comment on, or develop new content. And some online communities allow users to invite friends to an event, but what happens when the event is complete? SocialMap allows these users to return, post photos, videos, ratings, comments and see other content created by other users from the same event and location.

SocialMap integrates all of the most successful aspects of community-driven websites, incorporating them in a clean, simple interface that encourages participation and continued involvement. The result is a complete community-based social mapping tool that allows for dissemination and sharing of content between companies and their communities.
