Blogging
Blogging with eCrowds takes only a few clicks, and is one of the easiest and most effective tools for driving traffic to your site and optimizing your search engine presence. And in terms of Web 2.0, blogs are as essential as it gets. They're an easy way to constantly add new content to your site that highlights important news, creates fresh URLs, and showcases relevant keywords and metadata.
Commenting
Commenting is an essential part of any Web 2.0 content and community management system; it's one of the primary ways in which your users engage and communicate with your organization. And with eCrowds, your users have instant access to sharing their knowledge and contributing to your site.
Content Types
All content created in the eCrowds content and community management system is categorized by a Content Type; these dictate the configurations and formatting of content, ensure uniformity of style, and provide a simple way to create a well-organized site. Included are standard Content Types such as blog posts, forum posts, press releases, and wiki pages, and other Content Types can be added and modified.
Forums
Forums are not only a great shared, central place for users to congregate and discuss your organization and its products or services, but are also a tremendously 'sticky' area - a place where users return frequently to share ideas, view updates, and provide feedback, each of which increases site traffic and builds loyalty.
Idea Exchange
Providing your users with an interactive platform for sharing and discussing the best of their contributions has never been easier than with eCrowds' Idea Exchanges. Your community has a dedicated space to rate and sort ideas and content by tags, date, and user, adding a constant stream of updates and comments that add to your site's search engine relevancy.
Live Site Management
With eCrowds' hosted, on-demand content and community management system model, users and administrators have the ability to create, edit, and manage content directly from their live site, without the hassle of accessing a separate interface or application.
Dynamic Menus and Filter Flexibility
eCrowds' allows users to choose precisely what content they view, and even how they view it. The capability and flexibility of an on-demand content and community management system provides users with the ability to sort content by date added, Content Type, highest rated, and many other categories.
Content Rating
Providing users with the ability to rate content on your site is a great way to collect information on what types of content are trending upward and are most valuable and popular. For any blog post, news item, press release, or other piece of information on your site, community members can rate that content on a customizable scale. Content can then be searched and sorted according to rating.
Salesforce.com CRM Integration
eCrowds seamlessly integrates with one of the premier customer relationship management (CRM) programs on the market, Salesforce.com. Contacts, comments, and attachments are all shared between eCrowds and Salesforce, which streamlines the data gathering process, and account managers and marketing staff can closely track how site visitors and prospects interact with their site and all related campaigns.
Content Tagging
Tagging content is a key piece of any Web 2.0 effort; by tagging items with relevant keywords, your content is automatically and collaboratively organized, and is made easier to find for all of your users. As more content is produced, more content is available for tagging and organizing, and your site has an ever-expanding portfolio of content for search engines to find.
