  266. <p>Hotline Connect 1.5 will be demonstrated at booth #1030 at Spring<br />

  268. application that provides live and simultaneous chatting,<br />
  269. conferencing, messaging and file-transfer over the Internet from one<br />
  270. graphical user interface.  Based on a proprietary programming<br />

  279. communities increasingly need three key online services for effective<br />
  280. operations: low-cost, real-time communication, publishing and<br />
  281. organizational tools.  Hotline Connect answers all these needs,<br />
  282. enabling constituents with a common interest or communication need to<br />
  283. build, maintain and manage its Hotline community; integrate its Web<br />
  284. site content with its Hotline content; and situate itself among<br />

  292. from 55,000 in February to 80,000 in March. "Hotline Connect is a<br />
  293. fundamental application for any group that wants to improve its<br />
  294. communication on the Internet," said Steve Bielawski, President and<br />
  295. CEO, Hotline Communications Ltd.  "We designed Hotline Connect to<br />

  305. conjunction with other Internet applications like the Web, providing<br />
  306. a package for complete, integrated Internet communication.  It gives<br />

  311. for effective business, academic and personal collaboration. </p>
  312. <p>"Hotline Connect works very well for us and our advanced digital<br />
  313. publishing students at Purdue University and Miami University, Ohio,"<br />
  314. said David Swint, Associate Director of the Media Center at the<br />
  315. American Press Institute.  "The students had trouble collaborating<br />
  316. before because they were dealing with different platforms.  With<br />
  317. Hotline Connect they gather very easily in our virtual classroom,<br />
  318. where we've set up guest lecturers and question/answer periods.  It's<br />
  319. very effective."</p>
