BellaOnline Press Release

BellaOnline Launches Brand New Chat Rooms

March 20, 2003 - BellaOnline, the voice of women on the web, today announced the implementation of brand new chat software to its site, allowing visitors to connect with others who have similar interests and hobbies. With the assistance of SpotTalk, Inc., a Raleigh based chat software company, BellaOnline can now provide its readers with easy to use, state of the art chat rooms.

Chat rooms are an essential part of the BellaOnline community. According to Mavis Metcalf, Birds Host at BellaOnline, "I've found that bird owners really love to talk about their 'fids' (feathered kids) and having a reliable chat room to go to each week is an excellent way for everyone to get together to boast, brag, laugh or complain. We usually have a group of regulars who stay for the whole chat, plus a few who just drop by long enough to ask a question and be on their way."

BellaOnline is a comprehensive, online Network created by women for women. The site offers organized topics of interest into 17 Channels: Auto, Beauty, Career, Computers, Education, Entertainment, Family, Food & Wine, Health & Fitness, Hobbies & Crafts, Home & Garden, Money, News & Politics, Relationships, Society & Culture, Sports, and Travel & Leisure. The site can be found at www.bellaonline.com.

SpotTalk Inc., builds online chat software that is easy to use and fast to implement. SpotTalk was formed in 2002 by web developer Russell Kroboth, who has worked on and developed online communities for major companies throughout the US and Europe. SpotTalk now serves the online chat needs of hundreds of web developers across the world. More information is available at www.spottalk.com.
