kwiry Makes Your Life Even Simpler; Adds New Text Message Shortcuts and Facebook Connect Integration

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA, January 14 / MARKET WIRE/ --

kwiry, the company that helps you text it
before you forget it, today further enhanced its free service that turns text messages into helpful online

reminders. kwiry's latest additions to its recently launched Shortcuts
platform include the ability to schedule a TV show recording on a TiVo?
DVR. kwiry launched its Shortcuts service in August with Netflix and Amazon
integrations.

As an example, if a co-worker raves about the latest episode of a TV show,
simply text "TiVo" followed by the TV program title [e.g. "TiVo 30 Rock" to
kwiry's Text Messaging shortcode, 59479 (k-w-i-r-y)]. kwiry automatically
schedules the next episode of the show to be recorded on your TiVo DVR. No
need to rush home or remember to schedule it on your computer. The service
complements other ways for TiVo subscribers to schedule their TiVo box
while on the go including the TiVo Mobile website. kwiry's service extends
TiVo scheduling to all cell phones with text messaging capabilities with no
need for a browser or a data plan. With a one-time account link, all TiVo
Series2(TM) and Series3(TM) DVR users can have the capability to instantly
schedule a recording whenever and wherever they want.

"kwiry Shortcuts like Netflix
have been very popular with new and existing users -- we've had many
requests for new Shortcuts and are excited about the new integrations with
popular services like TiVo and Yelp," said kwiry Co-founder and CEO Ron Feldman.

kwiry's has recently added the following new Shortcuts to its free service:

-- TiVo (beta): Text "tivo 30 Rock" to schedule a recording of the next
episode to your TiVo DVR.
-- Yelp: Text "yelp Grimaldis Pizza" and get contact info, reviews and
more from Yelp sent to your e-mail inbox.
-- Contact Info: Text "contact johndoe@gmail.com" to email contact info
and vCard attachment while on the go.
-- Status Updates: Text "status headed to the gym" and kwiry will update
your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts.

kwiry has now also integrated with Facebook Connect, allowing people to

sign-in to kwiry.com with their Facebook accounts, instantly adding their
Facebook profile info to kwiry and allowing connections to their Facebook
Friends.

"The integration with Facebook Connect simplifies the kwiry sign-up process
and allows users to integrate the social aspects of Facebook into the kwiry
website as well as the kwiry experience into Facebook," Feldman continued.
