kwiry lets people turn text messages into reminders they retrieve online.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- 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-R-Y). 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-R-Y) 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.
