Are you following me on Twitter? It’s no secret I’m very active there. Have you thought about creating your own Twitter-like environment for a target group of people? That’s easier than ever to do now. Instead of having to code your own site, just use Shout’Em to roll your own microblogging community!

Shout’Em is platform on which you can easily start co-branded microbloging social networking service. Something simple as Twitter or with more features like Pownce. It is up to you! Networks on Shout’Em are “lightweight social networks”. They have a small set of features: microblogging, links and photo sharing, geo location sharing and mobile browser support.

There are three steps to starting your own network. Create your network… choose your skin… and choose your features. That’s all there is to it. Yes, it sounds too good to be true, but I’m telling you – it’s that easy!

I created a quick new group for all the Gamer Geeks out there! You can join it if you’re a gamer in our community! I’m sure we have at least one or two of you lurking around, right?

If you’re thinking about doing something like this, now you know where to turn – or shout! Check out Shout’Em today!
