What's New at CB Software Systems - May
We are pleased to announce the completion and launch of mslinstitute.com. Jane Chin wanted a Web site that would set her apart in a very niche industry and what we delivered is a solution that we feel accomplishes that goal. The site enables users to purchase site subscriptions and article reprints, access to archived newsletters and interact with Jane and other MSL colleagues via a message board. The inclusion of an Oddcast Vhost animated character is what really sets this Web site apart on the front-end. This animated character was customized to look very much like Jane and when the character speaks (initiated by clicking on an "ask Jane" link) it is Jane Chin that truly speaks to the user. http://www.mslinstitute.com is now completely maintained by Jane Chin.
