More screenshots of Blackbaud NetCommunity, courtesy of Blackbaud’s Melanie Milonas:
Captions
You can manage all the site captions here. For instance, instead of naming users of your social network friends, you can name them Fellows or Advocates or whatever your nonprofit needs them to be named. I prefer to call them “Great Old Ones of Cthulhu”. Your mileage may vary.
Preferences
This is a user management page. I like the friendly URL idea. This means users can pick an easy URL to distribute to their friends instead of something horribly difficult to remember.
Administration
This shows basic statistics of your social network. My guess is that this is the piece most likely to be made more robust over time as it gives you aggregate statistics that can be further borken down into detail reports. I can imagine all sorts of charts and graphcs here.
Accounts Administration
Typical user admin screen for the admin to lock/unlock/reset passwords.
Group Administration
Same as Admin-Accounts but for groups.
Groups
This is the interface that users use to manage their group interactions. It seems more like an e-mail list more than a group but I’m sure this will be built out too.
Group Administration
This is how a group manager administers the group. Fairly similar to the way Facebook manages groups.
Editor
This seems to be the admin screen for superusers on the network. Ten bucks to the first person who is a “user networking manager” that uses LordBritish as a username.

Hey Alan,
This is off-topic, but what’s the status of Social Markets?
@Bill Thomason: Whoa! Way off topic but welcome nonetheless. I’ve been working on it quite a bit and we’ve got a great demo up and running. If you’ve got a Facebook account, go to fans.socialmarkets.org. I’ve been using it to post updates about socialmarkets there. If any of you want a demo, I can give you one. Just e-mail me at [email protected].
Thanks for the screenshots Allan. Do you know if there is any real live example on a non-profit website showing Wave in use? Cheers again.
None that I know of so far… However, there’s a blog devoted to BBNC at http://www.customizingnetcommunity.com/
You might want to talk to the blogger there. He might have more to say on the matter.
BlackBaud NetCommunity is ridiculously overpriced, especially given it's substandard feature set. We tried integrated with Facebook/Twitter with no success for a year before we discovered NPEngine. I seriously recommend anyone using BlackBaud (or Convio for that matter) switch to NPEngine. We're saving thousands per year and it's so much easier to use.
