Wpblab - A Wordpress Social Media Show

This week on WPblab we talk with Eric Tracz & Brad Bihun of PeepSo about how you can build a social network on your existing WordPress website. Why do we need a social network on WordPress? We all live in our own little niche communities – we can translate that into online communities – with very detailed content that is relative to a very specific group / niche Facebook groups are great, but you don’t get the feeling of a small close-knit community that you would from a social network built on a niche site There are a lot of people that prefer not to post/share on Facebook due to privacy When you create your own community, you have more control and you can empower your users – they can help each other and answer questions or give advice to fellow community members Private social communities can be especially useful for people who want to share sensitive and private information (such as communities built around a support group) Building community takes time and effort regardless of the method you choose.
