The Much-Needed Makeover for Communities and Forums!

With the surge in social networking web sites, it is almost like a norm to be connected to each other through these sites. Logging in to a site and being updated with everything connected to your friends’ lives is like an addiction! Timely updates help us to keep a track on what’s happening in town or the hippest party for the weekend. There are many like me, who use web sites like these to find and interact with likeminded people on the web.


I am a member of various web design communities which I often visit to be updated about the latest trends in this field. Last week, I was reading an article on web design tools and I had few questions about the points mentioned in that article. I was very anxious and I felt it would have been good if I could have a community on this very page itself so that I could ask my questions and get instant feedback! I knew that there were many people at that very moment who were reading the same article. It would have been great if I could interact with them directly rather than going to other web sites and forums and posting my queries there. This usually translates into an endless wait that lasts for days or maybe even months, to get my queries resolved.


This is a common problem with most of the communities and forums. Most of the communities are not in context with what we are reading. Hence, I still feel disconnected with the people who are interested in reading the same article which I am reading at that moment. Many communities serve as a good meeting point to share information rather than discuss and interact on the topics. This creates the need to have an easy solution where people of similar interests can discuss and share things easily with one another on the go.


Thankfully, there is a tool named TeemingPod! It allows users to interact and share information online through various activities. Keeping the needs of the users in mind, TeemingPod is engineered to make social interaction much easier! Once you float TeemingPod on your page, you can begin a discussion, generate a poll, gather diverse views, post important links on various subjects and much more! Use it on your own web site and see an increase in the engagement factor amongst users. Allow users to interact on the topic on that page itself to get faster and better results.

The complete answer to online social interaction…TeemingPod. Bring about a new wave of innovation online!

Online Shopping Just Became an Interactive Venture!

We all know how shopping is amongst the most favored activities and this is evident with the number of boutiques and shopping malls that are mushrooming every where. Retail therapy is very much in vogue and companies are doing their best to woo customers! From up-market shopping areas to classy service for esteemed clientèle, companies are constantly trying to upgrade their approach towards the way they handle their steady clientèle.

Websites are often the face of the company as it gives information regarding the company, products offered and services etc. Online shopping is often considered to be an easy option by people who do not find the time to browse through stores. It’s a must therefore to have a web site that portrays the company in the correct manner and creates interaction amongst the users and even with the web site owner.

As a web site owner of any clothing brand or designer label, you must bear in mind that you need to attract users and interact with them. Trusted customers can interact with other customers too, sharing their experiences about the site and products. The addition of such types of interactions gives an added boost to a well-designed layout.

You can let customers share their views about a product through a discussion. How about answering queries put forth by customers through FAQ where the answers are provided by other customers, who have used the product or service. This proves to be a better solution rather than waiting for a support representative to answer such questions! Customers are more comfortable while purchasing certain things once they know that some another customer with a similar requirement has purchased it earlier and the product has fulfilled its requirements to the fullest.

Set up a poll for your customers to know their priorities, like’s and dislikes. You can involve customers to create various new product reviews. Let your customers experience that your web site allows them to interact with other customers and that their inputs are valuable for you. With social interactions, you can’t really go wrong with your business goal. Fret not! All this can be done through one single social interaction tool named TeemingPod.

TeemingPod allows you to embed social interactions right inside your web site. A user does not have to leave your web site to know more about the product.
