Outblaze has announced the
implementation of two new global services for all free Outblaze co-branded
Web sites.
The new services — Community Homepage Builder and Greeting Cards — allow
end-users of Outblaze co-branded products to access, manage, and edit one
homepage per user account, and to send electronic greeting cards from the
same account. Both services are free of charge.
“By adding these components to our suite of portal products, we are
introducing more value-added services to the Web sites that use our
technology, and of course to the accounts of end users,” said Yat Siu,
founder and chief executive officer of Outblaze.
Outblaze has signed up over 20,000 Web sites and over 3 million user
members since the beginning of this year.
Any user with an account on a free Outblaze co-branded Web site is entitled
to an integrated home page system in addition to existing products such as
e-mail, message boards, calendars, and so forth. These Web hosting
facilities include multilingual implementation, an online real time HTML
editor, and 20 megabytes of disk space.
Webmasters of Powered by Outblaze web sites can now offer electronic
greeting cards on their web sites; the cards have no fixed design, allowing
webmasters to customize designs. End-users of a particular site will be
presented with a selection of cards on specific topics commissioned by
their webmasters, reinforcing the concept of the affinity group, or
vertical portal.
