June 23, 2008 Gimigo

Gimigo allows users to share real-time, up-to-date information through secure, user-friendly platform

MINNEAPOLIS ( June 18, 2008 ) − Gimigo™, a secure, easy-to-use personal identity network, will soon make its debut. The web-based address book allows users to share real-time, up-to-date information with the people they connect with.

“Gimigo is the safe and simple way to stay connected with the people that matter most to you,” said Lukas J. Dickie, president and CEO of Gimigo. “Life-changing turn of events happen. If you move, change jobs or get a new e-mail address, simply update your identity once with Gimigo and anyone connected to you will instantly have your current information.”

Using industry strength 256-bit high-grade encryption, Gimigo allows users to safely access their contacts from anywhere in the world. An unlimited number of contacts can be added to Gimigo, which uses blazing-fast QuickTag™ technology to help you locate contacts instantly. Contacts can be imported from popular e-mail services, including Yahoo!®, Gmail™, Hotmail™ and Outlook®, and data is protected by Gimigo’s fully redundant network and secure backup storage.

Gimigo uses a one-to-many approach to save you valuable time. “We understand your world is hectic and crazy. You want to spend your time wisely. Gimigo helps simplify and streamline your life,” Dickie said.

Gimigo makes your life easier by:

  • Providing an efficient way to keep track of names, addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, and more,
  • Creating a real-time address book so you’ll never have outdated contact information again,
  • Instantly updating your personal details when you make a change, like a new e-mail address or new phone number, so people you are connected with will always have your current information,
  • Helping to maintain your privacy with a unique permissions-based approach to personal security,
  • Sending you birthday and anniversary reminders to ensure you never forget those special moments in life,
  • Offering one-click web maps with fast, convenient and easy directions to any address, and
  • Much more.

When added to someone else’s address book, you have the power to share your real-time contact information. Gimigo’s unique permissions-based approach to security allows you to choose what information you want others to see, right down to the very last detail.

“Gimigo is built by industry experts who are deeply passionate about protecting your identity. We want to help you take back your identity and give you complete control of your personal information,” Dickie said. “Gimigo’s commitment to safeguarding identity, combined with a rock-solid privacy policy, ensures that only you own your identity.”

Developed by security experts, Gimigo is safe against adware, spyware and malware, so you can say goodbye to junk mail, close the door on web crawls and sleep easy knowing your identity is safe from search engines, phishers and spammers.

Gimigo’s best feature, however, may be its cost – it is free for all personal users. “Gimigo is free because no one should own your identity but you,” Dickie said.

Gimigo is by invitation only. Visit www.gimigo.com to request an invite to join.
