About This File
The Social Groups application allows for the creation of
specialinterest oriented groups on your website. The basic idea behind
the app is very similar to the groups system on Facebook, but it expands
upon the idea to provide more features than a simple Facebook group
page. This app is perfect for any community where there are multiple
sub-interest groups within the site. This app will facilitate the
creation of a tighter knit community through the creation of more
intimate and specialized interactions. It allows for sites with tens of
thousands of members to provide a specialized niche for each member
without crowding the site. So whether you are a gaming clan trying to
organize separate factions or a large community centered around a hobby
(cars) or an educational focus (university), you can serve the needs of
your members' unique interests with this app.
