A community is a group of members interacting within a common environment to share information, build trust and loyalty, develop community ownership of decisions and reach common goals. Doing this allows the members to shape the community and see the impact they have. With Collaborize®, you can tap into the value of each community member to share ideas that lead to actionable results.
"Since the advent of the Internet, the concept of
community no longer has geographical limitations, as people can now
virtually gather in an online community and share common interests
regardless of physical location." -Wikipedia.org
Sample Communities
Free Polls
Our Free Polls site was started to allow you to create free widgets to poll any audience by giving them the freedom to vote for or suggest their own answers to any question or idea. With our Vote or Suggest widget, you can turn your audience's participation into actionable results that will help keep a vibrant and engaged community. Add a widget to your blog or website. Simply copy and paste the code.
How To Collaborize
This how-to community is a great example of how you can use Collaborize to host a support site for both internal teams and external audiences. You can post videos, downloadable documents, take polls, and more.
WeModerate
WeModerate was created to demonstrate how Collaborize can support an internal team by reducing the amount of email and inefficient communications by hosting them in one central location that will allow for rapid and collective team decision-making.
Cringely's List
In early 2010, Collaborize teamed up with technology journalist Robert Cringely to find the top start-up companies outside of Silicon Valley. People were invited to participate in the search by logging into the site and nominating a company of their choice. Almost 400 companies were nominated, and thousands of views and comments were added to the site to choose the top start-up companies.
Stop The Gusher
This site was created right after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in April of 2010. Collaborize provided a platform where the public, in 60 days, posted over 100 topics and 300 comments, and logged in over 600 times. The site garnered thousands of views and allowed for a central location to post and discuss ideas to stop the oil gusher and offer clean-up solutions in the Gulf of Mexico.
