kwiry turns cell phone into tool to help people remember things online
kwiry lets people turn text messages into reminders they retrieve online
December 13, 8:00 AM PST 2007 - SAN FRANCISCO - kwiry, a San Francisco-based startup, today announced the launch of their mobile/web service at kwiry.com. With kwiry, people use their cell phone to text personal reminders to their online account and email. People often watch TV, read a magazine, talk to friends or see a billboard and think, 'I should check that out' or 'I should e-mail that to a friend.' kwiry gives them a way to remember those things easily, with just a cell phone. Anyone can use the service simply by sending a text message to 59479 (K-W-I-RY). Additionally, registered users have their kwirys (text messages) stored for them at kwiry.com. The service quickly integrates with other sites like Facebook, iGoogle and myYahoo.
"We built kwiry to help people remember things," says Ron Feldman, CEO of kwiry, "but it does more than just store lists. People can easily view search results for their kwirys from many different websites and share their favorite results with friends."
Once people are online, one click turns kwirys into search results from sites like Yahoo, Google, Wikipedia, Amazon and more. kwiry also lets users mark their 'favorite' search results so the best sites stay linked to each kwiry. People can create their own community at kwiry.com with photos, profiles, and comments or integrate kwiry into their existing social networks.
'Text it before you forget it' by simply sending a text message to 59479 (K-W-I-RY) with something you want to remember. There's no need to install new software, learn new technologies, or pay any additional fees.
With billions of text messages being sent every month text messaging is obviously a feature people are comfortable using but very few companies have harnessed it. kwiry partners with advertisers and media companies to provide a unique viral platform to drive offline audiences online.
