My video overview of Elgg – an open source drop-in social collaboration platform for any organisation

Elgg is an award-winning open source social networking engine that provides a robust framework on which to build all kinds of social environments, from a campus wide social network for your university, school or college or an internal collaborative platform for your organisation through to a brand-building communications tool for your company and its clients.

It is easily installed for free as a self-hosted solution and in the video I give an overview of what it does and how easy it is to configure. The video tour will show you all its basic functionality and this will help you decide if something like Elgg could be suitable for your organisation.

Some of its functions:
* Group collaboration around documents, news, voting polls, events
* Basic event management
* Blogs, Bookmarks
* Static web pages
* Customised profiles and interactions with friends such as likes and commenting
* Powerful tagging and searching
* User management over notifications and abuse reporting
* Extended functionality through 3rd party plugins
