Now you can really be found on Google!

After many requests from our users, we have just added a new, very important and very useful functionnality to our public profiles, which were launched in February: the possibility to make connection requests to other users of the service, through that user’s public profile.

What that means is that an old friend or colleague who finds your Web profile through a search on Google can now send you a small message through UNYK to ask to get access to your contact information, to be able to contact you. Of course, you are free to accept or refuse any request.

Same thing if it is you who is looking for old friends or colleagues.

A small reminder : to manage the content of your Web profile (i.e. your public profile), go to the section My profile / Web profile on UNYK.com.

VYP, the UNYK Facebook app!

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , on February 11, 2008 by unyk

very-unyk-person-logo.jpgIntroducing UNYK’s very own Facebook application: very unYk person, or VYP for short. The idea behind VYP is to bring the information-sharing fonctionnality of UNYK’s smart address book to the networks of people assembled on Facebook.

Here is how it works:

  • Users who install the app choose a select number of friends who become their VYP’s.
  • The VYP’s are featured in a box on the user’s profile, and invitations are sent out to them to request their contact information (address, phone number, etc.).
  • From his profile, the user can access all the personal contact information for any VYP that has accepted his invitation. Of course, he would only have access to information that his VYP wants to share with him.

With VYP, Facebook users can share more contact information, which they would not normally have up on their facebook profiles, with only the people they want to. This access to contact information is privileged: No one else but users of VYP who have exchanged information can have access to that personal information.

So go ahead and try it out… and let us know how you like it!
