Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) December 20, 2007 -- The two young entrepreneurs behind the white-label social network platform "SocialEngine" have added some breakthrough features to their software, namely a news feed and advertising system. The authors Alex Benzer and Charlotte Genevier have already developed and launched several web-based applications that have since been acquired by other companies. With their newest release they aim to offer the world's most lively and exciting white-label social networking platform.

SocialEngine is a PHP-based white-label social network platform that installs a full-featured social network on your website. Like other white-label solutions, it includes most of today's popular features such as blogs, photo albums, groups, comments, messaging, and search.

With the recent 2.0 release, SocialEngine now includes a news feed feature similar to those found on mainstream social networks like Facebook and MySpace. The social network staff can customize what news feed items are published and to whom they appear. "This adds a new level of interactivity and fun to the social network, and there are endless possibilities for customization," says co-founder Alex Benzer. SocialEngine is now the only self-hosted social network platform that offers this as a built-in feature.

The new release also includes a unique advertising system. The social network administrator can create ad campaigns by uploading banners or Google Adsense code. These ads can then be targeted to specific groups of users based on their profile data. For example, the administrator can set specific ads to display only to men from California, women over 25 years old, etc. Ads served based on users' characteristics and interests generally perform better and are therefore much more valuable, and SocialEngine is the only self-hosted platform offering this level of targeting as a standard feature. Ad spots on the social network can also easily be sold to advertisers as the campaigns can be limited by time length, impressions, clicks, or click-through ratio (CTR).

Pasadena, CA (June 6, 2007) - Two college-aged software entrepreneurs hailing from Webligo, a budding Pasadena-based company specializing in web-based software development, have released a new social networking platform called SocialEngine. Webligo's young developing duo, Alex Benzer and Charlotte Genevier, have already developed several popular web-based software applications that have earned the acclaim of local media as well as thousands of webmasters worldwide. With SocialEngine, the developers aim to give individual webmasters and small organizations a comprehensive yet simple way to build social networks.

SocialEngine (http://www.socialengine.net) is a PHP-based white-label social network platform that installs a full-featured social network on your website. Like other products, it includes most of today's popular features such as blogs, photo and video albums, interest groups, and so forth. What makes SocialEngine unique is its unprecedented extensibility and customizability. While other products give you cookie-cutter designs and an overwhelming mound of features for users, SocialEngine offers simplicity, ease of use, and complete control over the appearance and functionality of your social network. The developers designed SocialEngine to highlight your unique concept instead of the platform itself. In that vein, SocialEngine is the only product of its kind that does not force any copyright statements or branding on the visible areas of your social network.

Another unique aspect of SocialEngine is its capability to have "subnetworks." SocialEngine automatically sorts your users into these subnetworks depending on the rules you (the administrator) have set. For example, you can organize users by age, location, profession, university, and so forth. Smart administrators will use this feature to show highly-targeted advertisements to their users, generating above-average advertising returns.

Unlike other products, SocialEngine also lets you design your social network from a structural perspective. You can decide how users will associate with each other, what privacy options they will have, whether users must be invited to sign up, and more. To learn more about SocialEngine, visit the product website: http://www.socialengine.net or Webligo's company website at http://www.webligo.com.
