Enhanced Community Based Communications Services
Business Editors/High Tech Writers
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 1999--PeopleLink
(www.peoplelink.com), the leading outsource provider for community
based communications services, Wednesday announced it is providing
Nettaxi (OTC BB:NTXY), a preeminent online community with over 60
million monthly impressions, with complete integrated communications
capabilities, enabling their users a simple, safe way to communicate
on-and off-line.
"Along with Nettaxi, PeopleLink is continuing to enable online
community sites to bring their members closer together by providing
them an expedient way to communicate with each other and discuss
shared interests," said Steve Glenn, founder and chief executive
officer, PeopleLink.
"In order for us to continue to create an exceptional community
experience for all of our Nettaxi citizens, it is imperative for us to
create a stronger, more intimate relationship between our members,"
said Robert Rositano, CEO, Nettaxi. "PeopleLink will provide our
members with an exceptionally user-friendly way for our online
visitors to stay connected and create new friendships based on mutual
interests."
PeopleLink's integrated suite of community communications
services enable one-on-one and group communications capabilities,
either in real-time or through e-mail. Nettaxi plans to introduce
Nettaxi Instant Messaging, which allows people to communicate
real-time one-on-one or in group situations.
PeopleLink ensures Nettaxi members safety and privacy through
controls that allow members to decide who they wish to communicate
with or block, enabling a safer community experience.
In addition, Nettaxi will also introduce their own version of the
PeopleLink Community Directory and iGroups, both of which will enable
Nettaxi members to communicate with each other based on shared
interests and affiliations they select.
Nettaxi provides free e-mail and personal home pages to each and
every citizen through community and Web-hosting services, together
with content and easy navigation. Popular Web sites fall into a number
of established categories such as news, search engines, arts and
entertainment, government, finance, education, and sports, which are
the basis for Nettaxi's communities.
From 150,000 members in the beginning of January 1998,
PeopleLink's registered user base has risen over thirteen hundred
percent in less than thirteen months. The addition of over 2 million
new members this year has been fueled by the popularity of
PeopleLink's new Community Directory and iGroups, as well as the
company's recent partnerships with companies such as Compaq, Bolt,
Concentric, Thrustmaster, StarMedia and iVillage.
With over 1300 iGroups, or interest groups, PeopleLink gives
people a way to connect and communicate based on specific topics.
iGroup subjects include every interest and hobby, from movies and
alternative music to photography, woodworking, politics and jokes.
PeopleLink services are available for free at www.peoplelink.com
and at PeopleLink partner sites.
