Building online community means different things to different organizations.  At iBelong, we believe community building means creating ways for your users to become a part of your organization's message through relevance and utility.  Our platform not only provides publishers with sophisticated tools, it also provides users with the ability to create relevance through joining, sharing, commenting, saving and creating.  Depending on the network owner's pereferences, user contributions can become part of the newsletter distribution.  So the tool set becomes an easy-to-use web site builder and email newsletter distribution platform in one!

Our executives have been involved in online media and professional serivces collectively for over 75 years.  We understand how difficult it is to create a meaningful connection with your customers/members/consitituents.  A regular flow if meaningful content that your audience has some control over is the first bulding block.  Then you'll need programs and resources to support this effort.  We understand that not all organizations have the same skill sets or needs.  Our products and services are structured to service companies, wherever they may be in their relationship with online media.  Our values reflect what we stand for and the way that we conduct business on a daily basis; they are part of the fabric of our company.
