Ning Meebo Chat Case Study

CHAT.com.pr began as a one page website for the community of Puerto
Rico with one Meebo Rooms Chat Room in November 2007. Three months
later the site incorporated Ning’s Social Networking Platform to allow
their members a full social experience together with chat. The site’s
popularity quickly grew and with this growth came new challenges.

New Challenges

  1. As membership grew, it was increasingly difficult to distinguish who was who in the chat room.
  2. The main chat room became too congested, with 70+ users simultaneously chatting at peak hours in the same room.

Blendapps Solution
Blendapps, a Meebo partner, developed an integrated Ning Meebo chat
room that allows Ning Network Creators the ability to create and
manage unlimited Meebo Chat Rooms. The chat rooms are fully integrated
with Ning, thus identifying their members with their own profile
pictures and a link to the member’s profile.

CHAT.com.pr was able to

  1. Create topic specific chat rooms - all integrated with its members’ profiles
  2. Add chat rooms to popular group pages
  3. Manage and edit all of their chat rooms from one control panel

Results
Today, CHAT.com.pr is one of the biggest and most active communities at Ning.

  • Over 15,000 members
  • More than 70,000 daily page views
  • An average of 16.5 minutes per visit
  • Their members have sent 100,000+ invitations
  • Nearly half of the activity happens in the chat rooms
