Jiglu introduces topic-centric community, removing the silos that exist with many other community and user-generated content products to enable visitors to create micro-communities of interest around the niche topics that engage them.
Community without the silos
Community and content have spent much of their lives on the web in a separate existence.
Many sites first introduced community elements with a segregated forum that had no real connection to their main content. Then as communities became established their users often developed stronger bonds to each other than to the site content, further increasing the divide.
Blogs introduced a new style of community, letting users add comments to the end of articles. However, while this brought the two sides closer together it meant a loss of continuity, with easy no way of finding meaning across stories or when new events changed their significance.
Jiglu uses the power of its intelligent tagging to remove these artificial silos, enabling micro-communities to form around the topics that are important to your users. Conversations live inside the content itself, spanning relevant articles and with a lifecycle that you or your users decide.
Powerful community features
Building on the Jiglu Spaces platform, Jiglu Media communities include all the features expected by major web publishers:
- Sophisticated moderation facilities through an inbuilt workflow engine that supports highly flexible control over the publishing process.
- Full interoperation with e-mail when required, allowing users to receive and respond to discussions through mail while embedded links in messages pull them back to the web site.
