Minicity Suite™ 2.0 Harnesses Power of Online Communications Technology

 Tysons Corner, Va.-October 17, 2001—Multicity.com®, a provider of hosted communications and e-commerce products that enable businesses and consumers to create global online communities, today released its new Multicity Suite 2.0 product. Multicity's flagship product enables businesses and organizations to leverage the power of online communities to drive sales, gain customer and membership feedback, build customer loyalty and retention, communicate with employees and partners, and maintain a successful Web presence. Multicity's current Minicity Suite clients include the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Pallotta TeamWorks, and Amnesty International USA.

"As the proliferation of Web sites continues, building online communities that provide tangible value to target audiences will be a key success driver for enabling organizations to create a powerful, compelling identity that stands out from the competitive landscape," said Multicity CEO Alain Hanash. "Our Minicity Suite offering sets a new standard for virtual community creation through its comprehensive package of communications products that features a range of functionality and product customization that is unmatched in the industry."

The Minicity Suite 2.0 product allows clients to create instant online communities through the following features:

  • Aggregation of multiple sites into a single virtual community
  • Implementation of Multicity's diverse array of community products
  • Full customization of the product interfaces (e.g., fonts, colors, logos, etc.)
  • Integration with client's user registration/authentication systems
  • Real-time product activity reporting
  • Easy community administration (site administrator can automatically add or edit products)
  • Instant translation option in Chat, Message Boards, Auction and Instant Messenger (immediately translate messages and/or product content)

· Multicity's highly scalable server network hosts the products, ensuring service stability during traffic volume escalation and the elimination of additional internal client costs for technical support, hardware or network bandwidth

The Minicity 2.0 Suite provides a fully customized and brandable group of communications and e-commerce products. These include:

  • Chat Rooms-enables users to communicate with each other via the Internet providing immediate feedback on virtually any issue or topic
  • Message Boards-message posting facilitates interaction between customers or site members and message archival provides a valuable information source for evaluating the usefulness of a site's services and content

In addition, the products' combination of a multilingual user interface and instant translation capability provides clients with a powerful global communications channel to promote cross-cultural understanding and collaboration. Multicity's patent-pending In-the-Box™ technology also extends the online community-building reach of any Web site by enabling Multicity products to be sent directly to the e-mail inboxes of a virtually unlimited number of recipients, who can immediately access and use these products.
