Ektron gets social

Ektron has unveiled Version 7.5 of CMS400.NET, which includes search and forum enhancements, a comprehensive and complete Web 2.0 toolbox and full support for social networking.

The company reports the new social networking platform provides out-of-the box functionality for communicating with friends and colleagues; discovering people, groups and information; interacting with content and people; and developing personalized workspaces. Ektron has also added taxonomy support to its threaded discussions, allowing customers to build community-driven knowledgebases where users categorize threads and rate posts, helping others find answers to questions.

Search also gets some additional functionality with Version 7.5. Now Ektron CMS400.NET can support keyword selling with its suggested results and synonym search functionality.
