This is GREAT news for the Tazzu Networking Community.

At the moment, our existing website (Tazzu version 1.5) is comprised of a Community Forum (which has been been temporarily closed) and Blog. We are are looking ahead with anticipation to the development of Tazzu 2.0 which will offer true social web functionalities and more enhanced collaboration & networking tools for the community members.

In a nutshell this wonderful announcement means that we are one step closer to the migration of Tazzu to the new platform – Anahita Social Engine™ – and regrouping our members, who at the moment stay connected via the Tazzu Blog, LinkedIn, facebook and twitter.

We are truly blessed – lets spread it around.
