LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 10, 2015) - Ngage Live Chat, a provider of live chat services to businesses across the United States, has been acquired by Internet Brands. The acquisition provides Internet Brands with an immediate competitive advantage by establishing in-house live chat products that will be implemented across Internet Brands' portfolio of client services brands.
