Implementing a social media platform

It can seem very daunting to take that first step into social media.

However government agencies do not need to develop their own or purchase a plug-in to their web content management system.

There are also opportunities to procure a 'white label' social media platform - at little or no cost.

These platforms vary enormously in capacity, with the most advanced supporting Facebook like features, and more basic solutions being simply wikis or blogs.

Finding these platforms can be difficult, which is why my hat is off to Sergey Kapustin, who has compiled a list of 70 of these tools entitled White label community platforms.

This features all of the leading products and some niche products which are also very good.
