Date of Last Revision: December 30, 2007

What is Zettapod?

Zettapod is a powerful social networking site (SNS) developed by ICON (International Communities thru Online Networks, Inc.). Zettapodis a one-stop shop social networking site where people have a unique website of their own, to create and manage contacts, upload various media (videos, music, pictures), create “blogs” (an electronic journal), promote products and personal works, and have access to other members’ pages.

What is my unique URL for my personal web site on Zettapod?

Your personal web site on Zettapod may be found at http://YOURNAME.zettapod.com.

What can I do with my personal web site on Zettapod?

With your personal web site on Zettapod, you can:

As a social networking one-stop shop, Zettapod, enables you to share different types of content all on one site! This means that you – and your family, friends, clients, and colleagues – no longer have to fumble with several sites and remember separate user names, passwords, and links.

How can I customize my personal web site on Zettapod?

You can customize your personal web site on Zettapod through CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

What can I do with the Zettapod address book?

Your Zettapod address book allows you to easily create, modify, and categorize your contacts. Unlike simple contact lists of other social networking that are limited, Zettapod provides members with an address book complete with fields for phone numbers, addresses, professions, and other relevant personal information.

Lost in your address book? You can create contact lists that organize your contacts into Groups (that can also later be used as recipients for Zetta-Updates). You can also search through your contacts or change the way that they are arranged (alphabetically, by geographic location).

What features are coming to Zettapod?

Rome was not built in a day; neither was Zettapod.

However, we at ICON (International Communities thru Online Networks, Inc.) continuously develop Zettapod with our commitment not only to provide you, the user, with an all-in-one social networking site (SNS), but a site that is both powerful in terms of its feature set and intuitive in its ease of use.

Currently, we are working towards the implementation of:

What is a Group?

A Group is a special offering of Zettapod that allows users to create accounts for non-person entities, organizations, and companies. A Group looks, feels, and operates like a personal account with the exception that it is linked to and may only be managed through the personal account of the moderator of the Group. In addition to this, a Group may have members and depending on the membership configuration (set by the moderator), membership may be open, subject to approval, or upon invitation only.

A user may create an indefinite number of Groups. Additional moderators may later be added and ownership of the Group may also be transferred.

What is the difference between a contact list and a Group?

A contact list is a list of contacts created in the Zettapod address book.

A Group is a special offering of Zettapod that allows users to create accounts for non-person entities, organizations, and companies. It looks, feels, and operates like a personal account with certain exceptions, please refer to “What is a Group?”.

Both contact lists and Groups may be used as recipients in the sending of updates. You can subscribe to and receive updates from Groups. However, you cannot subscribe to a contact list since it is just a list of contacts in your Zettapod address book.

What are Zettapod Updates?

Updates is a feature unique to Zettapod that – in addition to allowing you to send updates to other users – allows you to subscribe to the pages of other users or Groups and receive updates.

How do I use Zettapod updates?

Updates work in two ways:

Sending updates

You can send updates by selecting your audience (recipients: individuals, contact lists, Groups, by relationship, by industry and/or by country) when posting a blog or uploading media (pictures, videos, music).

Subscribing and receiving updates

Zettapod utilizes RSS feeds so that you can subscribe to your favorite blogs and receive updates to keep you up-to-date without having to directly visit other Zettapod personal web sites. Furthermore, you have the option to have your updates sent directly to your e-mail inbox.

Is there are way to stop receiving updates from Zettapod and its users?

Yes. If you are subscribed to receive updates from a user or Group, and wish to stop receiving them:
