Creating an online community - Is Everybody Doing It?

Las Vegas, NV – February 14, 2007 – The Connection Center - The Connection Center, an entrepreneurial services company, has developed a web based community product platform that enables companies, groups, non-profits, or faith-based organizations to provide their own online communities at a more affordable cost than what it would cost them to build it themselves. Bonnie Dillabough, CMO of Yaktivate.com, an online podcasting network, says, “We feel that online communities are a fabulous way to add interactivity to your website in a meaningful way.”

The success of sites like Myspace.com, LinkedIn.com, and YouTube.com has established that there is enormous demand by web users for online communities. Many people are finding the existing communities to be too general and are looking for an online community that is more specific to their interests. That is why many are choosing to build their own.

These communities are customized to the personal preferences of the particular organization. This online solution helps companies build brand loyalty, strengthen the organization and member base, enhance existing site's offerings, and can be an important source of revenue as well. The Connection Center provides the design, implementation, technical support, and hosting services for these online communities.

The Connection Center has built a custom online community for Yaktivate.com. Dillabough believes, “…it will provide great stickiness to our site, encouraging our listeners to return again and again. It is so easy to use and the features they have added to it are really exciting, allowing each member to create their own look and feel to their profile and truly interact with other listeners and all of our show hosts.”
