Engagement and Audience

With commenting, topic hubs, a content sharing widget, and Apture integration, you can build your community easily and keep them on your site longer.

Topic Hubs

Harnessing the power of Calais tagging, administrators can create topic hubs based on site’s most popular tags. Topic hubs are highly configurable and contain a series of pluggable content modules, like “Most Read” content for this topic, “Most Commented” stories, most active contributors, and links to other related topics. For example a topic hub of “healthcare” may have related topics of “homeopathy” and “medicine”. Through topic hubs, readers can explore all content related to subjects they are interested in. And, different form other news topic pages, these are configured automatically instead of being curated by editorial staff.

Topic hubs allow for user generated content

Comments and Talkback

Sites can be configured to allow registered readers of a site to comment on the content. Comments can be configured in a number ways, including the ability to require moderation if desired. Also, administrators can choose to localize comments for only certain types of content.

Comments can be provided for any content item editors choose
