The Virtual Community |
|
A virtual community is for organizations that intend to build a
sizable community of web users. The site itself is a service, not
just a vehicle for shipped products or physical services. Virtual
communities include some or all of the following features:
|
Chat |
Chat rooms can bring a site to life and greatly increase Traffic.
|
Discussion Threads |
Often the backbone of community websites, discussion threads area popular alternative to chat, offering closer attention to
specific issues.
|
Web E-mail |
Web based email is a great way to keep surfers at a site.
Inexpensive and easy to maintain, web email is a must for any
community site.
|
Homepages |
Homepages can help an on-line community shape its identity.
User-maintained homepages can add a lot to a site, with little
expense.
|
Calendar |
A calendar allows anyone to inform the community of upcoming events.
|
Easy content management |
Xanthus builds virtual communities with PostNuke, an open-source
code package. PostNuke provides an easy-to-use interface for
updating content like news, calendar items and links. The same
interface can be used for controlling the color scheme, image banners and fonts.
