A Social Network YWAM Base Site

Well, today we went live with a new web site / social network built on Ning, a hosted Social Networking solution.

Thank you to those of you who contributed to my previous discussion about YWAM and Social Networking. At that point we were exploring Ning and a Joomla plugin called Community Builder as options. My preference was Community Builder, or maybe Ning as a subdomain on our site, but they decided to go with a full Ning site.

Using the Right Social Technology for YWAM Africa

Over at the YWAM AfriCom blog they have posted an interesting story about using the appropriate technology for building the sense of "family" in YWAM Africa. I think that a lot of us automatically think of something like social networking for this, but they have some of their own thoughts on it that have a lot of merit.

YWAM and Social Networking

Does anyone out there have any suggestions or experience in creating a local / regional social network for our base?

We have been active on Facebook and MySpace, but have been thinking about a more localised or focused social networking idea. We've looked at a few different options, but I was wondering if anyone else out there had any suggestions?

Update on the Online Application Form Development

We have been able to incorporate a lot of your feedback into the application including ways to hopefully address the varied application processes out there and the legal issues.

Here are some of the features that the programmer is building into the on-line application:

Registration Problems

I just received an e-mail the other day letting me know that there have been problems registering on this site. First off I want to apologize for the problems.

Creating a Secure On-Line Application Form

Does anyone out there have an on-line application form for YWAM courses? We are wanting to develop one, but also don't want to re-invent the wheel, so to speak.
