You have full control of what information your users are allowed to enter into their profile. For instance if you want people to enter their website, company name, state, job title, etc. you can allow them to do so.

You can also have them select options from a list, free form text boxes and more. By default, all of our users can upload their photo. People love to see their faces! And we also feature a user list so people can see at a glance who is a member of a specific site.

We work with you to find a nice tight niche for your community. You want to come up with something that people are passionate about. Something that people can chat about and meet others who are interested in the same things.

Once you've picked your niche, you need to decide on what you want to name your community and pick a URL. Once that happens, then we find a template for your site and decide on what features you will need. Then we build your neighborhood, typically 3 days is all we need. Once it's built you will be given your login information as well as instructions on what to do next.

We then post as much as we can and get things rolling. After 3 months, we begin submitting it to the search engines and blog directories. And we really market the heck out of it. We post links all over the internet as well as exchanging links with others in your particular niche.

Eventually with people signing up and contributing as well as up-to-the-minute news feeds, your site will eventually "get legs." Eventually everything will be buzzing with activity, and you shouldn't have to post much at all.

Once things are running smoothly, you can find some advertisers for your site. In the meantime we'll use Yahoo or Google ads as well as any other affiliate ads that make sense. The final result will be a living-breathing community that people find useful as well as a great advertising site that should make a decent amount monthly.

Wouldn't it be awesome if the kids could have a place where everyone can login, everyone gets their own blog, they can upload their picture, post their favorite hobbies, movies, books, and music, they can upload photos, discuss things on the message boards, create and vote on polls, view/edit the class calendar, read the latest news, weather, etc. You can with our Classroom Blogs.

"Think of it like a kid-friendly myspace for just your classroom."

Well in the past, websites were built as an online business card. Here's my information, here's how to get a hold of me, here's what I do...me, me, me.

Now days, nobody cares about...me. They care about sharing their opinion, being able to participate and tell everyone about themselves.

tf-Media is creating tools to make it possible for people to reach out and meet other people and share ideas, ask questions and get involved...just like in a local neighborhood or community. It's an online meeting ground and storage area for information on a particular topic or niche. A place where you can ask questions, talk, watch or listen to media, read news, etc. related to your topic.

Online communities are a very powerful thing. Look at the success of Flickr, Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, Friendster, etc. It's not the sites that are great, it's the people in each community that makes them great.
