ezboard launches enhanced version 7.0
SAN FRANCISCO (October 23, 2002) -- ezboard, Inc. (www.ezboard.com), which enables users to create and customize their own Web-based “social space” for professional collaboration and social discussion, today announced its launch of Version 7.0. This new version of the leading online community platform includes a full site redesign, the introduction of integrated community chat and ready-made communities.
“We have spent a great deal of time trying to improve our customer experience, and the very best of that thinking is in Version 7.0,” says Vanchau Nguyen, ezboard’s founder and chief executive officer. “With Version 7.0, our online communities are easier to create, easier to operate, and more powerful than ever.”
The new ezboard site includes a completely redesigned control center for community administrators and users, employing the latest web standards using XHTML and CSS positioning. A new Help Center provides comprehensive and easy-to-use support for the over 10 million monthly visitors to the site. New ezboard communities now come pre-built with an array of feature and security settings, forums, posts and embedded help, allowing creators to enjoy a fully functioning online community in a matter of minutes.
The beta version of ezChat provides a fully integrated chat function within the online community – chat design, user names and controls carry over to the separate chat space. The result is a powerful new way to communicate for community members while they are online.
“Version 7.0 provides the technology, ease of use and new features that will help carry us forward,” commented Nguyen. “We expect to add even more features and personalization in the near future, while enhancing our ease of use.”
