HiveLive Launches Platform for Building Business-Focused Online Communities

HiveLive, an enterprise social software platform provider, announced the launch of a community platform to integrate social networks with information networks. The LiveConnect Community Platform allows businesses to configure custom-fit enterprise communities built around people, their relationships, and their shared knowledge. The foundation of HiveLive's technology is a Web 2.0 building block, called a Hive that combines people, information, and permissions to create flexible information resources. Hives can be configured by clicking, not coding, to support an infinite range of community activities such as communication, collaboration, discussion, media and file sharing, idea voting, and more. With Hives users can choose the people, create the type of information, and define the interaction shifting one-way, controlled messages into two-way collaborative conversations that are inclusive, open, and timely. http://hivelive.com
