Winchester, VA (PRWEB) April 6, 2007 --
soapcentral
.com, the #1 ranked soap opera website, today announced that it has selected MindSay Interactive to power the Web's first social network for fans of daytime dramas series. The partnership will enable
soapcentral
.com's 1 million-plus monthly visitors to maintain blogs, create profiles, share photos and video and more.
"Since launching in 1995, community has been a key to our growth," said Dan J Kroll, founder of
soapcentral
.com. "By adding MindSay's assortment of user generated content and social networking features to our site, we're enabling our members to connect in ways that they've never before been able to do. The blogs will provide an even greater sense of community for and provide an unprecedented level of interactivity between soap fans around the world. This will also make soapcentral.com even more of a destination spot on the web."
Among the new features, which can be found at

"The
soapcentral
