Today, we're so happy to announce the release of Hoop.la, our reinvention of online community.

If you've been struggling with an outdated, hacked-together community site, Hoop.la is the solution to your problems.  If you're running a community just for the sheer passion of it, with zero budget, or you've been dumped by your blogging/forum provider, we're here for you.  Heck, if you are a Big Deal, we've got an Enterprise version that comes with SLA and doesn't take 6 months to deploy.  Did I mention that there's also a free plan, with no ads?

Now that I have your attention, here's the real juice:

• Hoop.la communities are fully independent
• You do not need plug-ins or coding to run a Hoop.la
• There are no usage limitations (no kidding); the only limits are on advanced features & number of admins/members (check out the plan levels here).
• You can tailor Hoop.la to suit your needs - toggle on/off modules, add features, customize themes
• We hate cookie-cutter stuff - go crazy with custom domain, menu items, pages, and widgets, and graphics
• No ads, ever.  We promise. The free plan does not require a credit card.
• Use Facebook Connect as an additional login option
• Integrate your group's Twitter feed into the community (more social integration coming)
• You can have your own iPhone app, branded for your Hoop.la community

Setting up a Hoop.la takes mere minutes.  Go for it! The free plan is great out-of-the-box, and you can upgrade to add more goodies at any time.

...and we're not done yet.  Look for premium membership options, translation capabilities, and more in the coming months.

What are you waiting for----try Hoop.la now.
