An eCode is a one-word alias that never changes, and substitutes the lines of text that make up your forever-changing contact information. Pick an eCode, enter your contact information - as much or as little as you choose, and the system automatically generates a cool graphical business card that you can exchange with anyone to gain instant electronic access to each other's contact information (BizE Cards). At the click of a button, these cards can be added to one's personal Address Book, provided at NO CHARGE to eCode.com subscribers. When a subscriber updates his or her contact information, it is updated automatically in all the address books that contain the eCode. Users will soon be able to download a stand-alone version of the address book for use when they are not connected to the Internet.
Secure, Private, and Simple to Use -0-
eCode.com leverages the multimedia, global access and push
capabilities of the World Wide Web while addressing the issues that
are of paramount concern to users:
-- It is Secure: eCode.com does not offer directory searching.
Subscribers can only access information about other subscribers
who have voluntarily exchanged eCodes.
-- It is Private: the maintenance and access to information on the
web-site is controlled solely by the users.
-- It is Simple to Use: Besides a Java enabled Web browser and an
Internet connection, eCode.com requires no software or plugins to
be installed on a user's computer. It is simple to use and yet it
provides features and functions, which far surpass those of
traditional contact management systems. In addition, eCode.com
allows users to design their BizE cards with the ability to pick
from fun and cool: logos, paper textures, paper colors, ink
colors, and a variety of styles. eCode.com also offers an
easy-to-use way to add non-subscribers ("sleeper") to one's
address book.
Staying in Touch...easily
