What CityDNK can do
User self-expression
CityDNK allows a user to create his own site for blogging, storing pictures, videos, music, document files and even maintaining his personal forums. Besides, CityDNK gives an opportunity to park a private domain to a personal page.
Everything that user creates, shows or uploads can be discussed and rated by other users. However, there is always a possibility to make some things private if a user wants to.
Any info user gives can be discussed and rated by others. Besides, CityDNK has such services as: "I'm in the picture", "I'm eager to go", "I recommend this" or "I'm on the map" which helps maintain and develop user interaction.
User communication
Forums are one of the most popular forms to prod users into interest-based discussion. It is possible to use simple markup, add files and download pictures. Forum moderators possess much power, as to correct messages so as to punish dialog participants. Forums can be private (personal mini-site) and public (site-wide).
All site users can talk tet-a-tet via "private messaging service". A user can also distribute his contacts into different groups. This ability is very helpful for those, who take an active part in the site life (columnists etc).
What people do.šThe "Friends" service helps trace user site friends activity. This feature resembles popular "twitter" or "facebook".
