PHPFOX 1.6 Video Features:

One of the biggest improvements of PHPFOX 1.6 was the video module. Internet Entrepreneurs that were looking to create a Myspace & YouTube.com type website found great bliss with the new video mod. Members could now upload their own video files or stream in video files from other video sharing sites like youtube, break, and google.

Video conversion are now done by FFMPEG so videos will concert to .flv format to be viewed by a flash video player. Other formats that can be support (depending on your server) are .swf, .mov, .avi, .wmv, .mpg, .mpeg. The last great addition was giving users to embed uploaded videos on their own website.

Examples of Sites Using PHPFOX:

WebBizIdeas started building social networking sites for customers using PHPFOX's platform in 2006. Many customers originally came to us after purchasing the software needing a custom design built. Our graphic designers providing a quick & affordable solution to this request.

Next, customers came to us wanting additional applications built & software modifications made to PHPFOX's software. Our programmers learned the script and are now extremely skilled at modifying PHPFOX software. In fact we have a PHP Programmer on staff that just works on building custom PHPFOX websites. In 2008 our developer created PHPFOX SEO. This module makes PHPFOX's software search engine friendly.

We have been extremely happy to be PHPFOX's custom development partner and help clients build online communities affordable with their software. We would not recommend any other social networking platform (except building one from scratch) when starting an online community.

PHPFOX Review - Social Networking Software
Hat's off to the authors of this software. I have several clients running this software to power their social networks. Some of these include a B2B, B2C, as well as one adult site.

I'm looking forward to the new version of PHPfox coming out this month which will support Open Social.

Exciting times!

Here is a link to the feature list, and the demo: http://www.brandedsocialnetworks.com
