Business Sense Page Framework
Business Sense allows the page manager limitless flexibility in deciding their page layout, look, and feel. The entire platform is based upon a set of information management and collaboration toolsets that the page manager can add or delete as they choose.
The most powerful function of Business Sense Pages is the ability to embed HTML code. This makes the possibilities limitless. It allows managers to bring in custom built applications, off the shelf web programs, research embeds, and snippets of other websites.

Promote Your Business Sense Page
EXT provides page managers with several toolsets and tutorials to help them spread the word about their Business Sense Page.
EXT Cast
The EXT Cast is an inviter program that allows a user to send an invitation message to their entire Gmail/ Yahoo/ Hotmail email account. For example, if a person stumbles upon a Business Sense Page, and they like what they see, they can hit the EXT Cast, enter their email address, and send invitation emails directly to selected contacts.
EXT Share
The EXT Share function allows members to post information about their page on their user profile or onto the profile of one of their contacts. It is also fully integrated with all of the major social networks (Facebook, Digg, Stumbleupon, etc) so that users can post information on their accounts outside of the EXT Social Network. This function is automatically available on all EXT Business Sense Pages.
