Tipster Thursdays is a monthly feature covering technology and how you can incorporate it as part of your marketing plan. We’re going to look at different pieces of technology like Twitter, Pingie, Prologue, SmugMug, Qik and delicious and show you 5 different uses for the technology. This weeks column is going to look at BricaBox.
Take your audience and build your own social content website, inspired by UpComing.org, Zip411, Wikipedia, Yelp, or SmugMug. BricaBox is now offering users the ability to build their own platform. You can pick from a list of content templates (restaurant reviews, photos + maps, discussion board, video collection) or create your own from scratch. This is similar to what Ning allows people and organization to do for social networks.
- Allow your community to create a YouTube style video collection using their best in game videos.
- Combine Ning & BricaBox and launch your game’s first community portal. Users can upload video, photos, reviews, news and music.
- Create a press directory for your internal PR team
- Combine Ning & BricaBox to track and record what’s happening in your company’s next ARG.
- Allow your community to create a Flickr/SmugMug style photo collection.
With the current success of Ning and other tools that empowered today’s people. BricaBox should gather a following of who wants to create something for their niche audience.
