Private and extended network
Each member can set up his/hers own personal network, either like a business network or a friends network. Users from your network can be exported as a vCARD to several different PIM applications like MS Outlook.
Members can easily send emails to one or several members in his/hers network. They can also send notifications if they have updated their profiles.
Several mechanisms prevent the network from beeing abused as mass mailing applications. Each member you want to add has to accept your invitation before beeing shown in the network list. Unwanted members can easily be removed from your network.
The extended network shows your friends friends, and even third degree user. Extended network is shown in a similar list as your private network, and allows for easy invitations from extended to private network. This way you can really see how far your network expands.

Communication
Group email
Allow sending of basically unlimited amout of emails. Group email is mainly used for sending out newsletters to all users or predefined groups. The advanced search helps you select any kind of target group(s). The targeted sending of information to users help them beeing pointet to the information that is important for them, since they do not necessarily have to recive all information an administrator has available. As an example, instead of sending an invitation for a concert in London to all users, you can reduce the recipients down to the users living in and around London, and who have marked in their profile that they are interested in news regaring cultural events.
Group email lets you personalize communication by using any profile field as placeholder in the message. So instead of ”Dear member,…” you can say ”Dear Martin,…”. This increases acceptance on the recipient side and reduces the risk of the email to be caught by spam filters.

Group SMS
As group email, group SMS allows sending of basically unlimited amout of short messages to cell phones. Group SMS is mainly used for urgent and latest mailings. You could for instance send an last minute reminder of tomorrows workshop or explain that the concert the users is attending is posponed.
Like group email you can personalize communication by using profile fields as placeholders. Each user will then see the message as a personale one, instead of a standard ”Dear Sir/madam message.

Users can add their personal tags to an object or search for certain tags. The search result is sorted by category and shows all available objects that have the same tag.
