SalsaHook.com: Makeview's Social Media Technology at Work

LOS ANGELES, CA — In November 2009, Makeview published its first social networking website, SalsaHook.com. The website is a fully interactive web application that allows users to sign up, create a profile, network, and share content online. 

Being that the concept of SalsaHook.com aims at promoting the niche of 'Salsa' music and dance, Makeview further developed a variety of web applications and scripts that give SalsaHook's users the ability to share and promote through a variety of content, such as:

• Promote: Post events, lessons, and venues where Salsa events are taking place.
• Write Articles: Apply to become a SalsaHook Editor and write articles about Salsa. 
• Share Videos by allowing users to link their YouTube accounts with their SalsaHook accounts.
• Community Tools: Create groups, fan pages, blogs, participate in discussions, and so much more. 

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTENT MANAGEMENT.

Due to the high amounts of content that are submitted by SalsaHook's users, it was important to have a highly efficient Content Management System (CMS) that would give site administrators the ability to fully manage the data contained by the site in a very user-friendly and easy-to-use environment, provided by the Makeview Administration Panel. Some examples of the data that the site administrators are able to manage, and some of the functions allowed by the Administration Panel, are:

• User Management: User signup log, activity, data and information.
• Event Promotion: Manage promotional content added by users, such as events, lessons, venues, instructors, etc.
• Community Controls: Manage user community tools and moderate user activity, if necessary.
• Newsletters: Ability to send marketing materials to SalsaHook users.
• Site Settings: Control every dynamic aspect of SalsaHook.com.

CONTENT BY GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION.

One of the key features behind the concept of SalsaHook.com is its geographical location divider, where loads of data (events, venues, lessons, news, etc) can easily be divided by the physical location where things are happening. It supports US cities and states and International locations and it can subsequently be divided by Language as well, to accommodate users from any area in the world. 

— In conclusion, the web software behind SalsaHook.com is state of the art technology, it is extremely light and efficient, and it uses very advanced programming techniques that are a testimony to Makeview's web capacity. 

SALSAHOOK.COM LOOKS & FEELS LIKE:

• Metromix.com: a website that promotes local entertainment in various cities.
• Yelp.com: a website that allows users to review and recommend restaurants, shopping, nightlife, entertainment, services, etc.
• A mix of Facebook.com and MySpace.com: As soon as you sign up you will find similarities to some of your favorite Social Networking Websites. Why re-invent the wheel?
