The Launch of Perfusioncommunity.com, Chat & IM Functionality and First Comments

I’m excited to provide this update about Trident’s launch of a new website to serve as an educational and networking resource to perfusionists. Now in its first month live online, 130+ users have already signed up at PerfusionCommunity.com, a new website developed by us specifically for cardiovascular professionals including perfusionists, educators, manufacturers, students, providers and other industry professionals. We came up with the idea based on a realization that a one-stop shop for the industry was needed to include a broad spectrum of information such as events, news, expert advice from community members, employment opportunities, and most of all an open forum of communication and exchange between members. Our vision includes a myriad of enhancements which are coming to life.

Perfusioncommunity.com added more features this week: A real-time chat room for members to communicate, which includes private instant messaging. The site allows members to meet around a virtual water cooler for discussion or public social exchange, where one can whisper (privately) to another member or have a separate conversation entirely from the water cooler in an instant message (IM) format. Perfusioncommunity.com’s layout and ease of use is supported by the latest technology, using Microsoft ASP.net browser-based internet Chat and instant messaging. There is no software required to be loaded.

Additional new enhancements are being explored as additions to Perfusioncommunity.com. We view the site as a work in progress and are responsive to the members’ wants and needs and we are getting rave reviews. We’ll continue to survey and solicit comments. In the future, we plan on having educational seminars and leadership lectures held in the moderated chat room.

Another thing I want to mention is that we’re still very early in establishing PerfusionCommunity.com’s presence. As such, we are offering web banner advertising at introductory prices which includes design, placement and quarterly traffic reporting to you. Contact me if you’d like a media kit containing details about our advertising programs.
