Yoomba Launches First Open Communications Experience, Allowing Free, Instant Email Calling and Email Chat |
Yoomba's unique peer-to-peer technology enables users to talk to any email
address, anywhere
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Yoomba Ltd. today invited the
world to be part of a new open communications experience available at
http://www.yoomba.com. Yoomba's open peer-to-peer application sits on top of every
email network and turns any email address into a phone or messenger,
allowing users to talk to friends, family or colleagues around the world
for free.
For the first time with Yoomba, users can now simply and instantly talk
to all email addresses at the touch of a button. Yoomba uniquely integrates
into email applications, adding buttons next to contact details in all of
the major webmails, Outlook and Outlook Express. These buttons provide
users with one- click access to all their contacts using voice or instant
messaging.
"At Yoomba we are changing the way people communicate by providing the
first open p2p network, putting consumers back in control," said Elad
Hemar, Co-founder and CEO of Yoomba. "With Yoomba there is no registration,
no need to create a new email address or a special number -- just activate
at http://www.yoomba.com. You are no longer limited by the boundaries of an
individual email or VoIP network. Yoomba has created email calling and
email chat in the simplest way possible."
Before Yoomba, online communications offerings existed as part of
closed networks. To communicate with friends, family or colleagues, users
were required to join the network, register, create a new online identity,
then search and add contacts one by one to each individual network.
During activation Yoomba seamlessly loads all email contacts, giving
users instant access at a glance, and more importantly, in order of
popularity. The top 20 people in each user's Yoomba contact list will be
the top 20 people they most frequently email.
"Our vision is to open the world of communications and create one
universal experience that enables everyone to simply and instantly
communicate for free." said Hemar. "There are one billion email addresses
around the world, and Yoomba -- as an open communications platform --
allows everyone to talk to any one of them."
