Invitation to Join MV Market Place

As a member of the Multivalue community, we would like to invite you to join and participate in the MV Market Place.

MV Market Place is quickly becoming the go to source for Multivalue information, with News, Software downloads, classified section, employment sections, knowledge base and a document library, MV Market Place is the destination you have been looking for to satisfy your Multivalue needs.

In the coming months, members can look forward to having access to create and distribute their own email based newsletters, Marketing materials, and surveys, and even prize give-a-ways.

What is the MV Market Place about?

The aim of the MV market Place is to provide a platform for all Multivalue community members to share ideas, exchange software, inform the community of matters of interest and provide a common destination for all community members.

MV Market Place is open to all. We do not believe in creating fragmented groups of community members each isolated and unaware of the rest of the community. We believe that all Multivalue members have something to share with all other members, and we are dedicated to providing the platform to make that happen.

Don't settle for out of date or static web sites, that have not been updated in years. MV Market Place is a community participation site, and as long as we have an active community, MV Market Place will have fresh content.

The site seems a little "confused" to me.  Click on "Benefits" and you're taken to a sign-up/in page. The home page "News" feed seems to double-up each story.  I guess it's a fairly new effort as many areas are lacking in content. e.g. "Idea Space".  They definitely seem to want to be a central aggregator for all things MV.  Ambitious and, if well done, might be a good resource for existing MV folks and a solid jumping off point for newcomers.

Not sure if they're using any type of CMS to manage the site, but they should.  There seems to be a bit of an inconsistent mix when it comes to typefaces, font sizes and colours.
