ATTAP Technologies to Preview LifeIO; Organize Your Life, Your Way

Posted on: Wednesday, 21 June 2006, 09:00 CDT

In advance of its September launch, the team at ATTAP Technologies is previewing LifeIO, a new "life-organizer" application. LifeIO lets you integrate your messaging, contacts, calendar, photos, video, shopping, and more in a highly personalized environment. LifeIO connects you to your world from one central place, putting you in control of what you see, what you share, and what you do online.

LifeIO is the brainchild of ATTAP Technologies, Inc., a New York City-based developer of web-based software aimed at giving people more of what they want from the Internet. "In a new kind of connected world, LifeIO is a new kind of application -- a life organizer that integrates and consolidates Personal Information Management, Communication, Ecommerce and Social Networking," says Bruce Spector, founder & CEO of ATTAP Technologies, Inc.

Integration and Relevance

LifeIO is your portal to the world, a place to coordinate everything from your messaging, contacts, and email to your calendar, shopping, and media. From your personal LifeIO page, you can access everything you do online -- and most of what you do off-line -- from one central place, accessible from anywhere. LifeIO lets you move seamlessly between chats, messages, events and purchases, all the while letting you stream in any information you want -- weather, stock prices, sports scores, news, videos, and more.

LifeIO allows you to integrate and coordinate your life. You can:

-- Put an event from any email account straight into a calendar, and put any event into an email.

-- See and search the content of any combination of several email accounts, instant messaging accounts, calendar events, notes and to-do's in a central inbox.

-- Share your calendar with friends and family, colleagues, or the public with various privacy settings.

-- Save all your information and attachments with a large online storage component -- maintain an online personal history.

-- Create and share shopping wish lists in several categories and from several retailers, and comparison shop for the best prices.

-- See your flickr photos and YouTube videos right next to your inbox.

-- Organize a meeting with just a few clicks -- no more long email strings to get people together.

User control and Personalization

LifeIO puts you in control -- this is your life, your way. See only what you want to see in your inbox. Share only what you want to share and only with whom you want to share it. And count on high levels of security to protect your information. As you tell LifeIO what you like and don't like, you can choose to receive recommendations for events, shopping, news and more. You can be notified of information from sources you choose and let LifeIO work for you -- track your packages, get movie showtimes, check the weather, see your contacts' shared calendars, and more, all without leaving your LifeIO homepage.
