Tulane University Expands University Social Network With LiveWorld's Community Center
San Jose, Calif., March 27, 2007 – LiveWorld, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: LVWD.PK), a leading online social networking and community services marketing agency, announced announced today that Tulane University is expanding its online community to a full social network based on LiveWorld's industry leading Community Center platform.
The expanded Tulane Community Center is designed for admitted high school students to facilitate communication with their future counselors, current students and each other. Since Hurricane Katrina, LiveWorld has and continues to provide Tulane with a variety of pro-bono social networking services based on its range of application platforms, tools and moderation services. These platforms include software provided pro-bono by LiveWorld partner, Jive Systems.
"Our goal is to ease the new student's transition into university life and give the students a place to obtain answers to their questions, form friendships and build anticipation and excitement about Tulane University life," said Earl Retif, V.P. for Enrollment Management at Tulane University. "In addition to being a leader in its product category, LiveWorld has been a great support of our Tulane family in a time of crises and now in a time of rebirth and growth."
The new community is at: http://www.admittedstudents.tulane.edu.
"Tulane epitomizes the value of Internet community," said Peter Friedman, Chairman & CEO, LiveWorld. "They already were a community and when the hurricane came their spirit held together, but the physical world was weak. Online community filled the gap and today enables them to be a stronger community than ever. It is our privilege to support them in these efforts."
