| New Self-Destructing Instant Messaging Technology that Provides Users Privacy and Security Unveiled by BigString Corporation |
April 17, 2008 |
Innovative Application Prevents Logging, Saving or Screen Printing IMs
RED BANK, N.J., April 16 /CNW/ -- BigString Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: BSGC) today unveiled a new self-destructing instant messaging technology that enables users to send instant messages (IMs) that self-destruct after being sent. Additionally, IMs sent via BigString's service cannot be copied, logged or screen-printed. BigString IM is a free, advertising supported service available at http://www.bigstring.com. It is available as a web version or as a free plug-in for AOL's AIM.
The patent-pending technology leaves no trail or copy of the IM on any server once the message self-destructs. The time for self-destruction is set by the sender, and can be set to disappear in as little as a few seconds to over an hour. The sender can also choose a number of visual effects for the self-destruction. A message will disappear in real time simultaneously from both the sending and receiving IM screens.
"We have become so complacent about texting, chatting and gossiping online that we have forgotten that our conversations might be stored and archived forever. Just ask a politician like New York Governor David Paterson, a celebrity like Charlie Sheen, or the American Idol contestant whose private pictures were spread around the Internet against her will. That's why we created an application that now gives consumers back their privacy and control," said Darin Myman, President and CEO of BigString. He added that, "'Going BigString' gives you the ability to have a private and secure online conversation with the peace of mind that it will disappear at the exact time you chose."
Recent surveys indicate thatover 70% of Internet users use some form of IMing with over 25% using a form of IM at work. "This makes the secure concept of 'Going BigString,' a natural for all those communicating in real time online," stated Mr. Myman.

Where did I put that darn headset?
Cardo S-800
Bluetooth headsets are very useful - until you misplace them. When you lose the attractive little S-800, you use your phone to signal the headset to start buzzing.
