I’ve been following social networking platforms more recently especially with Google's 'OpenSocial' platform. Recently when I heard of the a new platform called HiveLive, which launched on November 5, I was expecting to see the same features that are available in other platforms.
HiveLive is a platform with a lot of standard social networking functionality. The platform's software enables companies to rapidly deploy custom-fit enterprise communities built around people, their relationships, and their shared knowledge. HiveLive possesses strong capabilities, that give ordinary users the ability to control the modules deployed within a social network.
Social networks often incorporate many Web 2.0 tools, thus with it's Web 2.0 building blocks - called "Hives" - that can be easily configured to function as a wide range of community applications (blogs, wikis, forums, FAQs, and more), HiveLive is attempting to mix things up a bit.
Network users can now choose to add their own 'hives' to an existing social network, configure the type of 'hive' (blog, forum, wiki, etc.), and then determine who within the network gets to use them. This allows users to be in control.
The HiveLive platform is flexible enough so that you don’t even have to create a hive that’s easily categorized. If you just want to share a string of items with friends, you can create a blog-like page with a variety of data types. Users can also create their own hives by copying other hives with a few clicks of the button.
So if you want to create and run a blog with friends about a shared interest or create a new blog 'hive' that everyone can see but only a few can edit or you want to collaborate on a project with team members using a 'wiki' or just create a 'wiki hive' that only a few people can access at all, HiveLive remains the first community platform that seamlessly integrates social networks and information networks.
