Community Builders

Life is a series of events, and communities are built around them. Spongecell's Community Builder feature sets transforms online communities into real social networks by empowering members with their own dynamic event calendars.

Calendars can be used to collect and share events from around the community site. Members can also create their own events, and even invite friends within and outside of the network. The end result is a better community where members have convenient ways to meet one another online and share their real lives together.

Spongecell's Add to Life Technology lets community sites better understand their members by giving visibility to the types of events that are popular within the network. There are several easy integration points that allow web administrators to promote branded and sponsored events within their site. Sponsored events can be featured in interactive calendar widgets, with tracking and metrics built in to gauge their effectiveness and monitor attendance and interest levels.

Spongecell uses a simple REST API that administrators can deploy to control and implement calendars for all of their users. The calendars are rendered as a flash widget, with the user logged in based on credentials that are passed to the Spongecell API. This enables seamless deep integration with low engineering costs and development time. All calendars can also be easily skinned and branded to match the community's online identity.

Every Spongecell Promote Community Builder receives 10 free accounts. Web developers can easily provision the accounts by just clicking on the settings panel to generate a key.
