forums services in April 2010 and have been growing at a rate of over 50

double the rate of communities created.
Today's announcement means that the millions of website creators on
Yola.com can now add a community forum to their site in a matter of
seconds. For a website creator, it's as simple as 'dragging and
dropping' the Tal.ki

plugin from the Advanced Widgets toolbar directly onto their page.
The forum will automatically match the colors and layout of the page.
Paul Bragiel, Tal.ki's CEO said "Today's partnership with Yola.com will
lead to the next generation of social interactivity on individually
created websites."
Tal.ki forums are unique in that once added to a website, they make it
very easy for visitors to join and start participating in a
conversation. Unlike typical forums, visitors do not need to create a
new account profile, instead, they choose to login with their favorite
social networking service, such as facebook, twitter, google, yahoo,
wordpress, and a handful of other providers.
A Tal.ki forum allows a website owner to instanly add community
functionality to their website. While there are many existing
collaboration tools, from wikis, to blogs, to tweets, a forum still
serves the unique experience of online community discussion. Where any
member has the ability to start a new topic of conversation and generate
a discussion from the rest of the community. This is opposed to the
top-down approach through blogs and commenting systems for visitors.
