FAQs - Content

Each type of content is divided into its own area. When the user creates a piece of content, they’re provided the option of which profiles they want to share that content with. They may also share it with other sections of Sam's Social where it will be displayed for other users to see and interact with.

We know… But not everyone gets along with everyone.

We’re trying to give you tools so you can differentiate yourself enough so that people have a better idea of who will and will not work out.

It’s not intended to be cumbersome and can actually be quite fun.

The content in these sections may even help you find friends

You share your content exactly how you want to share it. Each piece of content you create can be linked to each of your profiles.

When you create our update content, an update notification is provided to all profiles’ members and friends that content is shared with

Well, there’s a few reasons.

The primary being it shows something about you. It shows your preferences and lines of thought

The second is they’re actually pretty fun to make. They’re even more fun to scroll through and see what other people like

Nope, but you do need to have six.

We know ten is a lot, but we at least want more than few replies to give a better picture of what you’re looking to express.

No it does not. As opposed to creating a top 10, you can create a bottom 10 as well.

Nope. These are just suggestions to help you think of topics. To create your own top ten, click on the + in the upper right corner of the section.

No idea. Top tens have been part of our culture for a long time. They are found in many places, but have never been utilized in helping users of a website interact. We love them and think you will too!

Soapbox lets you give your thoughts on multiple subjects as opposed to providing your thoughts on just one specific story or subject.

It gives the world a chance to see the unasked side of you.

These are the types of subjects that come up when meeting new people. Show new people how interesting you are and begin the journey of making new friends!

You like to share your opinion.

You like to talk about a variety of subjects.

You want to have the conversation with friends that you may not ordinarily have the time for.

Create a content group! It groups together similar content that interests you!

When viewing a soapbox, Content groups are available under

You can find your content group under My Social → My Content → Content Groups

Currently you cannot as we wanted to keep the subjects of soapboxes standard and relatable to one another.

We will look to open up and expand this functionality as our site continues to grow.

We’d love to offer every subject in every soapbox, but if the soapbox becomes too big, it becomes cumbersome for users.

A gallery is a grouping of pictures.

A gallery gets linked to profiles, not individual pictures.

The wish list is a quick way to let others know where you may be interested in going.

When looking at restaurants, bars, and other places to go, you will find all wish list menu. Simply click on your thoughts relating to that establishment and it will be added to your wish list.

Your wish list can be linked to your profiles like other content. Your wish list will also relates to the merchant itself and the around town section main pages in the “who wants to go where” section.

Yes, go to my social→ my wish list. You will find your complete wish list. Next to each item you wish to delete, click on the two delete your item

Currently, you can review restaurants, bars, and merchants found in the other places of the Around Town section of Sam's Social.

A review consists of a title, review, and a grade

The grade provided is an average of the scores that we’ve received.

We built Sam to eliminate some of the less genuine practices our competition offers

We use a scale from 0 to 100, but we’d like to think of it as high school grading, not college.

Our goal is to give you a more precise score of what your reviewing and what’s been reviewed
