San Diego, CA February 22, 2000 -- iMarkup Solutions Inc., (www.imarkup.com) a leading provider of web-based personal productivity tools, today announced general availability of its initial product within the
iMarkup™ suite of products. Developed for Internet users seeking to both control and organize their web experiences, iMarkup provides users with the ability to 'mark-up' Web pages, email them to others, collaborate and refer back to comments. As importantly, the iMarkup tools also enable users to organize and locate pages and markups on pages from user ids to passwords and web sites. Completing an eight-week Beta that included 8,000 downloads from 55 countries, iMarkup is being deployed among a broad range of users - from college professors, technical writers, office managers and network administrators to consultants, executives and administrative staff.
"iMarkup is undoubtedly innovative and intriguing. The product turns web sites into static paper that you can write on, paste stickies into and markup and comment as the need strikes you," remarked Jason Rosenweig, editor of the Beta Report. In its Top of the News online review, PCWorld.Com stated that, "The Organizer is what makes iMarkup truly useful. It's one thing to make marks on a page; it's another to be able to locate not only the page but the marks you've made there. All in all a useful tool for organizing your corner of the Web."
"Many users today are interested in new ways to organize the volumes of HTML pages they review on a daily basis," stated John O'Brien, president and CEO of iMarkup Solutions. "We are pleased to bring to market a utility that allows them to manage that information while also having some fun," he continued. iMarkup products allow users to: 1) Use the text highlighter to remember important information on any web page; 2) Organize Internet navigation; 3) Replace or supplement 'Favorites' and 'Bookmarks' with the fully integrated iMarkup Organizer and, 4) Remember account numbers, user IDs and passwords on web pages. Chat's Choice states that, "You don't even need to type notes turn on iMarkup's Paintbrush feature, and engage in some freeform drawing. Circle items you want to mark or make a big "x" on portions you don't want to waste time on later. If you're collaborating on a web project, you can share your notes with a colleague by sending them the 'marked up' page right through email."
iMarkup tools are personal productivity tools that allow annotations and other markups to be made from within users' web browsers to "live" web pages. These markups will be remembered and automatically displayed the next time the user visits that web page. Markups provided include Web Sticky
Notes™, a free form drawing tool and text operations. iMarkup users can email any of their markups to other users, the recipients can review the markups, make any changes, then email them again using the free iMarkup Plug-in.
The standard product comes with over 25 different Web Sticky Notes. iMarkup Plus will provide all of the standard iMarkup capabilities, plus enhanced drawing and markup operations and includes many additional Web Stickies. iMarkup Plus will also include voice support, an iMarkup Internet Assistant to make web navigation easier and a "favorites" list of all markups made to any web page, providing complete customization of toolbars, hotkeys, etc. iMarkup is available on Windows 95, 98 NT and Windows 2000, utilizing Internet Explorer 4 or later. "Our beta feedback has been phenomenal -- it is quite evident that iMarkup is a tremendously useful tool to a broad range of users," O'Brien concluded.
