Business Center Build a Social Network for Your Business

摘要

UPGRADE FROM THE break-room bulletin board and one-way customer e-mail lists—your business can take advantageof its own Facebook-like social network. You might try Face-book itself, of course, but the clash of business and personalcommunications could leave your vacation photos minglingwith company news, and could lead to goofing off on compa-ny time. Instead, turn to a social network platform to makeyour own site. Many services offer functionality similar tothat of Facebook; but here I'll focus on Ning, which has beenestablished for a few years and offers customization toolsthat can make your site behave almost any way you want.
