LifeMatesOnline the Second Online Dating Site in the World to use Macromedia’s Communication Server Technology.

TORONTO (PRWEB) December 4, 2003

LifeMatesOnline (http://www.lifematesonline.com), Canada’s largest online dating destination, announced today the successful launch of its LMO Instant Messenger 2.0, making the Canadian company the second online dating site in the world to use Macromedia’s Communication Server technology.

Using the latest Macromedia technology, the new platform allows LifeMatesOnline members to communicate with each other using compelling, interactive, rich media content, while retaining the speed and security that is so critical to instant messaging applications.

“We evaluated a number of different technologies, but Macromedia’s Communication Server and Remoting was the only platform that supported the functionality we needed to implement,” says Timothy Madden, Director of Internet Marketing for LifeMatesOnline. “Our members were very specific when asked what types of features they wanted to see in version 2.0, and rather than being forced to make compromises, Macromedia’s technology allowed us to surpass what we had originally intended.”

Provided extensive rich text formatting and profile information from the LifeMatesOnline database, LMO Messenger 2.0 provides members with a detailed snapshot of the person they are speaking too, making the task of forming a personal connection all the more easier.

“The end result of any member-to-member interaction is to forge a connection on a personal level,” says Madden. “The challenge with traditional ‘chat’ applications is that they tend to be too ‘text based.’ Macromedia has allowed us to incorporate the visual elements that are so essential to dating within a safe, secure, and enjoyable web experience.

Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX integrates support for streaming media, real-time collaboration, and multi-way video, audio, and text messaging into a single solution. With HTTP Tunneling and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) gateway support, server traffic can now traverse firewalls and proxies and deliver secure information to ensure everyone can experience the content.
