Encouraging and actively supporting effective connections between members

No Ads, No Algorithms: Imagine a networking platform where quality trumps quantity, where genuine connections are fostered, and where your content is given equal visibility without the interference of algorithms or advertisements.

From multimedia posts to private messaging, you can engage with members in various ways.

What’s Included…

Your Profile is integrated with all your member activity on the site.
Add specific details if you’re a speaker or event related service provider.
Post multimedia updates in your profile. Other members can react to and comment on your posts or even, if you’ve allowed it, start posts in your profile.
All posts in your profile, unless you prefer otherwise, automatically show up in the community area’s main activity stream, visible for all full members to interact with.
Discoverable by search engines and viewable by non-members too. This can help a little with your SEO and discoverability. Non-members only see the main details and not any Community related elements. You also have the option to hide your profile from non-members or certain members.

Quality over quantity
The focus is on building quality relationships, rather than growing as many (often meaningless) connections as possible. On UKNetworker, you can 'Follow' as many members as you like, but connecting on the platform as 'Friends' is limited to 200 Friends.
No algorithmic bias!
Unlike major social platforms, the Activity stream won't force-feed you the most popular content, overshadowing valuable "less engaging" content. Nor will it only show your content to a small percentage of your own connections, and so on. Instead, the Activity stream gives equal visibility to diverse content, for inclusivity and effectiveness. Members can do their own easy filtering at any time, to prioritise the content they're viewing.
No ads!
Enjoy a business social platform with no advertisements. No advertisers targeting you (often incorrectly) using your personal/business data collected by the platform through your profile. Promotional content can be posted by members, but a close eye is kept on this, and other members are able to report any spamming.
A worthwhile alternative
LinkedIn's domination in the professional online networking space brings a heavy reliance on LinkedIn, and limits people's exploration of other platforms or networking methods for business purposes. The UKNetworker community is small, member focused, purely about networking (no job market etc.), and provides an alternative or additional way to develop your business network and relationships that's worth investigating.
Easy to use
Build on relationships with other members with the social tools you're familiar with: multimedia posting; commenting; private/group messaging; notifications; hashtags...

Invested members
Identify and connect with people within a private community. Paying members value their membership in a different way to users of free platforms.
Get to know people naturally
No overemphasis on quantifiable achievements, such as 'skills endorsements' provided by connections who don't have real insight into the member's abilities. The UKNetworker Community provides an avenue for genuine/natural endorsements, recommendations, and a more holistic view of a member's capabilities.
A more level playing field
There’s no implicit pressure to constantly expand your network. And how many connections someone has on UKNetworker, or 'who they know' is not as important as having equal access to members, content and opportunities to interact. And with no algorithms behind the software controlling your experience, a new member with no connections has generally the same opportunities and tools to find people, connect and get themselves noticed as the most active members.
A UK platform for UK people
We're not aiming for world domination. Quality networking is what we truly aim to facilitate, and the platform will always be only UK based.
