Overview:

The new social world of the internet represents far more than finding a friend on Facebook or keeping a diary online for anyone to see. New Web technology, also referred to as social media or Web 2.0, is unstoppably shifting the way we communicate and interact with each other for business. The question is not if this affects you, but how will you fit in?  Will you be a wallflower or the center of the party? The panel will discuss new opportunities and challenges for companies in this dynamic environment.   Our focus will be presenting ways your business can understand, approach and thrive in this new social and communications landscape.  Don't miss out on this opportunity to leverage your understanding of web social architecture and how you can make this changing landscape work for you and your organization!

One Click Clubs offers state of the art online community relationship management capabilities to membership  based organizations.  Requiring only a web browser with access to the internet, an organization will be able to provide the modern features expected by online users to interact with each other and the organization.

It will be possible for organizations to install a single website, and also for umbrella organizations to install networks with sub-sites for member organizations with syndication to the larger umbrella.

The beta period will include two networks:

1. YaleNet, including the initial sites Yale Alumni Association of Metroplitan New York, the Yale Latino Alumni and The Yale Club of New Haven
2. Dwight Hall, the center for public service and social justice, which includes over 100 member groups

All of the beta sites are for groups that encourage interactive websites and support member-driven contributions.

OneClickClubs comes out of 3 years of volunteer work managing a true virtual community with Yale Alumni Association of Metroplitan New York which now boasts over 10,000 visits permonth and over 30 distinct user-driven posts.
