DotNetNuke's New Store Just Opened

I got this in tonight via email: We are very pleased to announce the next generation of the DotNetNuke Store is now open for business! Formerly known as Snowcovered, the DotNetNuke Store has been totally re-designed to deliver a dramatically improved experience, making it faster and easier than ever to locate apps, extensions and website design templates for the DotNetNuke platform. In addition to new branding, the Snowcovered site has been completely rewritten using the latest version of the DotNetNuke platform.  Along with improved navigation, menus and friendly URLS, site search has been upgraded making it faster and easier to find what you need - fast.       Simplified screens make it easier for vendors to create, edit and publish product listings, ensuring that products in the Store are the most current.  Vendors also have more extensive profile pages on the site, enhancing their marketing reach and increasing the visibility of their product reviews. The DotNetNuke Store is accessible directly from your DotNetNuke site through a feature known as the DNN Extensions Catalog  (available with DNN 6.x). This direct access simplifies the process of shopping, purchasing and installing add-on capabilities by putting the large ecosystem of vendors and add-on solutions in the DNN Store at your fingertips.  Available upgrades for currently installed modules and designs (“skins”) are displayed through the Extensions Catalog interface, which makes keeping a site up-to-date simpler than ever before. Come visit the new Store now!

Grouply Rolls Out A More Social And Customizable Version Of Online Groups Platform

Grouply,

a startup that’s built around creating an managing online groups from Google and Yahoo Groups, is launching a more customizable and social version of its service. Launched in 2006, Grouply was one the pioneers of the socialization of groups and essentially lets users combine features of social networks and online groups, incorporating Google and Yahoo Groups products.

The latest version of Grouply, which currently hosts 1.6 million groups, has been enhanced to provide many more customization tools for Grouply groups, giving users the ability to transform the simple appearance of any Google or Yahoo Group into a modern, sleek, colorful website. Grouply provides built-in themes and well as custom templates that can be tweaked easily and without any programming knowledge.

Grouply is also adding features that make it more like a social network instead of a simple group. Groups will now have social activity feeds, directories, and can also promote their groups through search-engine optimization. Users can also see analytics about groups and user activity. And users can monetize groups by running ads and collecting membership fees, donations and event fees. Grouply collects money via a freemium model.

The platform faces competition mainly from Ning,

which is steadily growing and already launched many of these features. But in contrast to Ning, Grouply is more centralized around Yahoo’s and Google’s group products, which are still alive and well. In fact, Google, which says its Groups service is one of its most popular products, recently rolled out a a deeper integration of Groups as a feature of its enterprise-focused productivity suite Google Apps. Grouply is also planning to launch integration with Facebook and Twitter soon, and will allow users share their Grouply activities with their friends and followers in the two social platforms.
