Along with the news, the redesigned Web Hosting Talk will feature RSS feeds and social bookmarking tools, as well as a merchandise store offering a variety of Web Hosting Talk gear.
"Our goal with the redesigned Web Hosting Talk is to better serve the web hosting community - both the WHT members and the consumers and small businesses who utilize the site to conduct research and make purchasing decisions," says Chris Ainsworth, director of product management at iNET Interactive. "This is the first of several significant product enhancements that will allow the community to interact in ways not currently possible under the constraints of a message board."
According to iNet, the Web Hosting Talk redesign is the first phase of what it calls the iNet 2.0 plaform. The platform is the underlying technology platform used across the company's network to power its community-based sites. It provides a range of new social networking functions designed to met the needs of these communities.
