Beatrice A. Boateng Kwasi Boateng | July 2010 | Joomla! Open Source
A website (social network) is only as good as its content. You can have the flashiest,most gimmick-filled website, but if it does not have content, is not user friendly, and does not attract users to come back to it, then it will become another nine-day wonder and no one will remember it.
In this article by Beatrice A. Boateng and Kwasi Boateng, Author of Joomla! Social Networking with JomSocial we are going to create content for our site in order to attract more appheads (the name for users of our site) by:
- Extending our social network to include a ratings system by using SOBI, a Joomla! directory extension
- Listing apps
- Reviewing apps
- Displaying listings in profiles
- Sharing multimedia content such as videos and pictures
