3D Socket - Social Community Software, Online Social Networking Business

Open or Closed Networks

Different levels of privacy, openness or closedness, are important to different members and different types of online social communities.
Having a closed network, for example for a smaller group of friends who have known each other a long period of time already, means greater comfort in publishing personal details and content such as photographs.
Having different levels of openness affects how easy it is for new members to sign-up, participate, and find each other. The greater the openness, often the greater the traffic, page views and participation, therefore those building communities for commercial reasons may want to trend towards greater openness.

Open or Closed Networks: Your network can be set as open to the public with simple registration to completely closed except for pre-authorized members and hidden from search engines.
Autonomy: You decide what kinds of content can or can't be posted on your network.
Image: Be the first among your friends, family, or business industry with your own network.
Control: of your member data.
Financial Profit: through complete control of your advertising
Visitor Engagement: visitors to your site will stay longer and do more with social networking features on your site.

Controlling your own community using 3D Socket means controlling your own advertising. From the administration portal you can input code formats for advertising networks such as Google Adsense, and/or you can upload advertising images and link them to advertising customers who have paid to be on your site. You can also choose to rotate between different images or code for each ad format (e.g. banner, skyscraper etc.). Several ad formats are supported.

As rich in features and benefits as the 3D Socket product already is, the vision for the product roadmap extends much further. The 3D Socket development team never rests updating the product with new features. All updates are available free of charge for the first year. After that should you chose to purchase the optional updates for a subsequent year the fee is $49.99 per year.
