COMMACK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 1999--
Enhancements to Award-Winning Chat Product Provide
Industry-Leading Solution for Collaboration and
Community Critical for Internet Success
eShare Technologies Inc., the expert in human interaction on the
Internet, today announced eShare Expressions(R) Interaction Suite 4.0
an enhanced version of its award -winning chat product. eShare
Expressions is currently the number one chat product on the market
with more than 1,500 customers. It provides a unique turnkey solution
for adding chat, threaded discussion forums and online presentations
to Web sites. Expressions enables organizations to leverage the
benefits of online real-time human interaction to retain customers,
increase sales, build community and foster collaboration.
Expressions enables virtual meetings, live training and
conferencing, distance learning, moderated events and social chat.
Significant new product enhancements are extended to the full feature
set and include multi-processor support, improved memory management,
total thread expansion in forums, enhanced customization options and
administrator statistics.
eShare has signed on close to 100 new Expressions' customers
since it announced a transition program for abandoned customers of
Acuity's iChat products just over a month ago. The company provided
the transition program in response to Acuity's drastic move to
discontinue its iChat product. Recent customer wins include
Jacksonville University, Red Planet, US Clearing a subsidiary of Fleet
Bank Securities and Major League Soccer. Additional Expressions users
include Internet business leaders such as Lycos, At&T WorldNet and
GeoCities. eShare typically adds close to 75 Expressions customers per
month.
"eShare's goal is to provide a complete solution for
Internet-based human interaction," said Glenn Reyer, vice president of
marketing for eShare Technologies. "With the latest version of the
Expressions Interaction Suite, we have reinforced our commitment to
the chat space in light of Acuity's recent departure. At the same
time, we have added features that our customers have requested to take
chat to the next level for customer interaction. No one else in the
market is dedicated to providing turnkey chat solutions based on
specific market demands and this is why eShare is the customer
interaction market leader. "
"Financial Intranet, Inc. (OTCBB:FNTN) is excited to be able to
provide the latest in Internet chat technology to our audience", said
Alan Spar, chief technology officer of Financial Intranet. "eShare's
Expressions technology has enabled our users to access live, scheduled
chat sessions with industry experts and corporate management alike,
without obstacles such as user downloads. Expressions has given us a
platform for building community on our site and a powerful investor
relations tool at the same time."
eShare Expressions powers four of the top 10 sites named in a
recent survey by MediaMetrixs including Internet pioneers Geocities,
Lycos and Tripod. The product line features an open architecture with
multiple client interfaces, Active X, Java, Java Light, and HTML; easy
access without any time-consuming downloads or plug-ins; powerful
communications log and online tracking. Expressions also offers full
HTTP support, alleviating the need for administrators to install
additional software.
The Suite includes four key components: Chat, a server-based
software solution for adding live, real-time interaction; Forums, a
conferencing tool; Web Tours which provides the ability to lead a
group on a tour from page to page and site to site; Moderator, for
