SocialGO PLC is an innovative interactive tools company created by former senior executives of video game publisher Eidos and dynamic young executives from the web design industry.

The companys product is SocialGOTM, an innovative online service that allows anyone to create their own social network.

Social networking is changing the way people communicate with each other. It's richer, better and more colorful and fun than email. There are many large social networks such as Facebook, MySpace and Bebo.

However, SocialGO allows you to create smaller more personal and, if you want, private social networks that can be used for existing groups or organizations. It can be an amazing tool for families, hobbyists, sports clubs, church groups, schools and universities, businesses, associations – in fact there are limitless types of groups or bodies that can benefit from the service by drawing people closer together.

SocialGO offers the sharing of blogs, photos, music and video, the ability to organize events, create special groups, introduce relevant news feeds and facilitate forums. It also offers instant messaging and video chat between members as well as allowing broadcasts and bulletins and profile sharing.

Whilst most users of SocialGO are small organisations, such as clubs, churches, charities, schools, hobby groups, business networks, politicians, and many others, SocialGO is also use by large companies such as Random House, Hilton Hotels, Texas Instruments, The National Lottery, Oxfam and Levis's Jeans.

SocialGO is subcription priced at $25 a month. A Concierge version is available for those customers who wish the have the SocialGO cretaive team set up and design their network and provide first line support. That is priced at $150 a month.

The owner and administrator of the SocialGO social network has a set of easy-to-use tools which allows them to design the site, set privacy parameters and control the content.

Although SocialGO does not contain external advertisements, if the network owner wishes, they can insert their own advertisements or promotions and make it commercial. Setting up a social network using SocialGO is simple and takes a few minutes.

    * Public or private sub-groups can be created by members
    * Members can share photos, videos and discussions within groups
    * Mass messages can be sent to members

Promoting Events

Your network can be an excellent platform for organizing and promoting events. Members and sub-groups have the option of making an event public or private. People can then mark their attendance, write on the wall and upload photos. As network owner, you have the right to moderate the creation of new events.

    * Events can be private or public.
    * The creation of new events can be moderated by the network owner
    * Sub-groups on the network can create their own events for their members

    * A nifty chat bar sits at the base of the network allowing for real-time chat
    * Video chats can be started with high-quality webcam support
    * A multiple user chat room widget available for free in the Widget Store

Forums

Your members can debate hot topics in specially created forums and post video and photos as part of their replies. Participants are notified of any new responses by email. What's more, groups are able to keep their own forums private.

    * Participants can follow discussion topics, receiving email alerts when someone responds
    * Groups can have their own private forums within them
    * Members can embed YouTube videos and photos into their responses

Blogging

Blogs are a great way of encouraging participation in the network, so you may choose to have your moderated, communal blog (known as 'The Magazine') as your home page. Members can, however, simply choose to post blog entries to their own profile page, complete with any photos, videos, content from YouTube and so on.

    * Every member gets their own blog
    * Members can embed videos and photos into their blogs
    * Members can embed YouTube videos and photos into their responses

SocialGO can display original videos and photos that your members upload or embed content from other networks. Members can upload to multiple public or private albums, but as network owner, you can choose to moderate all media before it goes live.

    * Members can add photos to multiple public or private albums
    * Members can embed videos or upload them and have them encoded by us in minutes
    * You can choose to moderate all media before it goes live on the network

Fully Managed Service

No matter how large your network grows, you have complete peace of mind. We back up your data off-site in the US and UK and you're able to request the files at any point. We have all the server power we need to run your network and its photo and video content and we update our software with exciting new features every few weeks.

White label

We offer complete white-labeling of your SocialGO network so members will never know it's running on our platform. Remove the SocialGO branding from your network, apply your own domain and remove all our links in emails and image references.

Members can sign up to your network by using their Facebook and Twitter credentials. They simply click on a button in the sidebar and are logged straight in. Adding this to your network can improve signup rates by as much as 25%.
