“There are millions of small businesses and organizations looking for a fast and easy way to deploy a professional, branded web presence that goes beyond a static website. Beyond, how can they increase customer or member interaction through social networking and social media on their website?” said Mark Robins, CEO and co-founder of Grouply. “Grouply lets them deploy a branded community website that can include user groups, help and support forums, chat rooms, and private discussion areas. And with Grouply’s new promotional tools, businesses and organizations can attract new customers and members.”

About Grouply
Grouply is pioneering the “social group” — a new type of online community that combines the best features of social networks and online groups. Social groups offer the social interactivity, media sharing, and modern design of social networking sites like Facebook; and the rich discussions, popular email interface, and people-discovery opportunities found in traditional online group systems like Yahoo! Groups. With Grouply, you can create a new social group about anything you like or join a social group and connect with others who share your interests and passions. Existing Google and Yahoo! Groups get an “extreme makeover” on Grouply; each gets a modern, professional, fully customizable website that automatically interoperates with Google and Yahoo! Groups. Grouply was founded in 2006 and is funded by O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, SoftTech VC, and other prominent angel investors, including Reid Hoffman. http://www.grouply.com — @grouply
