Major Highlights
Activity Feed
The DNN 6.2 Journal is an activity feed which enables community members to interact by posting and replying to status updates, tagging users and sharing links, files, photos and videos.
User Relationships
DNN 6.2 allows users to friend and follow other users or groups and to receive notifications which allow them to approve or reject new friends and followers.
Social Groups
DNN 6.2 fosters collaboration through the ability to create social interest groups. Users can join groups and share content with group members. Discussion forums can also be associated with social groups enabling members to ask and respond to questions and gain feedback on new ideas.
Interactive User Profile
DNN 6.2 empowers community members to create and manage a personal profile and dashboard which offers flexible privacy controls, personal file storage and a user focused activity feed.
Message Center
DNN 6.2 includes an integrated messaging center that enables users to respond to notifications and interact with other users or groups through messages that are similar to email.
Member Directory
A member directory enables users to find and connect with other users on the site.
Social Authentication
DNN 6.2 makes it easier than ever before for customers and prospects to participate in an online community. Users can now register and login with their Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Live credentials.
SharePoint 2010 Support

DNN 6.2 also provides support for modern, client-based development techniques. It includes the jQuery, jQueryUI and Knockout.js development libraries and the new DNN Service Framework. The DNN Service Framework enables developers to create application services that any device that uses HTTP can call.
As always, remember to do a trial upgrade in a test environment and to make a file and database backup prior to upgrading to DotNetNuke 6.2. While most of your DotNetNuke 4 & 5 modules and skins will work in DotNetNuke 6.2, some of our vendors have already started releasing updated versions of their modules that take advantage of new DotNetNuke 6.2 features, so check with them to see if upgrades for your modules or skins already exist.

DNN4Less, a fast-growing DotNetNuke Hosting company, is proud to announce a new service “CloudExcel” to its existing and new clients. CloudExcel is a CDN (content delivery network) with a security layer that ’just works’ in conjunction with DotNetNuke website. Once a DotNetNuke website is a part of the CloudExcel community, its web traffic is routed through intelligent global network.
CloudExcel offers website performance enhancement with simple setup and reasonable prices for people who know and love DotNetNuke. CloudExcel is a system that accelerates delivery of web content by replicating it on multiple servers and serving it from the geographic location closest to the user. Such a network enables websites to improve performance significantly and to serve much larger audiences than a single server can typically handle. Virtually any type of static web content can be delivered more efficiently via CloudExcel.
“To keep our clients happy - and loyal - we took a new approach. We identified a smaller number of strategic global locations near primary Internet Exchange Points, and built supercharged points of presence we call SuperPOPs. These SuperPOPs have massive amounts of computing and caching power and are directly connected to all the major backbone networks. And that means a DotNetNuke website is just milliseconds away from almost every broadband user in the world,” said Kevin Bowers, Director of Business Operations for DNN4Less.
Go Global Without Big Costs
In the past, global content distribution was expensive and complicated. CloudExcel makes it simple and cost effective to serve your content from an advanced network. 21 content caching points of presence (POPs) in top tier data centers are strategically located near primary Internet Exchange Points and directly connected to over 1150 user networks. Your content is at the center of the global traffic exchange, putting your end users just milliseconds away from your content.
Small and Large Object Optimized
Whether serving small objects like images, CSS and JS files, or large objects like streaming video and audio, the intelligent CloudExcel system is optimized to serve small files from RAM and large files from disk. This gives you optimal performance regardless of file size.
Guaranteed Availability
Patent-pending routing mechanisms and global load-balancing technology serves content requests from the location closest to the end user. In the rare event of a single PoP unavailability, your content continues to be served from the closest available point. This technology provides industry leading reliability and availability of your content.
About DotNetNuke
