ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – YourMembership.com Inc., the global leader in private online communities, today launched real-time chat as part of its SaaS-model (Software as a Service) member community solution. Developed entirely in-house as a proprietary solution for all YourMembership.com clients, the new chat feature allows members to participate in member-to-member chat based on each user’s Online Now status. Like all product upgrades, YourMembership.com made this enhancement available to all clients free of charge.

"Chat is certainly an integral part of the online community experience," said William H. Stover Jr., CEO and president of YourMembership.com. "Our development team created this version of chat exclusively for our clients, and we are pleased to make this feature available for no additional fee."

YourMembership.com chat enables different levels of visibility and connectivity. If they choose, members may exclude themselves from being shown as Online Now; however, they may still initiate chat sessions with fellow members that are active and showing as Online Now. Also, site administrators may allow community-wide member-to-member chats or limit chats to connection-to-connection only. Coming soon, YourMembership.com will add scheduled group chat capabilities.

"Chat within YourMembership.com is very simple, fast and intuitive," Stover said. "And I think our clients and their members are going to benefit from this powerful new feature that will certainly help them all stay better connected."
