CrowdGather

CrowdGather is a network of online forum-based communities that engage, provide information to, and appeal to message board users. CrowdGather provides a interactive and informational social network for members, a management and revenue-sharing resource for third-party forum owners, and an advertising network for marketers worldwide.

The Company’s founder and CEO, Sanjay Sabnani, developed the vision for CrowdGather based upon his experiences, first as a forum member since 1998 and then as the owner of forums since 2002.

As of August 2012, CrowdGather was serving over 220 million page views and reaching 18 million unique users monthly.

On June 9, 2010 CrowdGather acquired Adisn, a next generation Digital Ad Agency that uses relationship data from the social web to enhance targeting. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, Adisn is a next generation Digital Ad Agency that uses relationship data from the social web to enhance targeting. Adisn has proven that the aggregate of web conversations, web profiles, online blogs, and behavior create millions of relationships between seemingly unrelated topics. The company’s technology mines through those relationships and applies the strongest ones to enhance online targeting to the benefit of publishers and advertisers across the web.

CrowdReport

StageIn Development

Whether you participate in forums or write a blog, you want to have a conversation. Before CrowdReport you had to choose how to have your conversation. Do you go down into the darkly lit forum threads? Or do you surf the well-designed but perhaps abandoned and out of date blogosphere? With the CrowdReport WP plug-in you can turn your forum threads into easy to read blog posts that anyone can comment or bookmark. In addition, bloggers can bring their posts to the forum communities by creating a thread from their blog post.

Forum users don’t have to have accounts to post their threads as a blog entry. With a customized template, forum owners can quickly add a blog to their forum, easily sharing threads with everyone. CrowdReport WP automatically posts the thread as a blog post and any responses as comments, where non-forum members can participate.

With RoamingThreads, forums can benefit from real-time image streams from their members. RoamingThreads adds a new level of functionality to the essential forum experience, making sharing mobile images a breeze. No longer will members have to email their pictures from their mobile device to their desktop so that they can upload it to their forum of choice. RoamingThreads allows for direct upload, bypassing all of these unnecessary steps.
