Go2 Systems Inc., the originator of Go2(TM), the first global addressing and locator system designed for the Internet and wireless devices, today announced Go2 Messenger(TM), an instant messaging technology for wireless devices designed by Go2 to leverage the company's location-referencing database.
Go2 Messenger differentiates from other short and instant messaging services by being directly tied to Go2's patented geo-referencing technology, ultimately allowing commercial and consumer users to broadcast messages to people based on their location -- a service ideal for retail and service markets.
"Go2 Messenger is the first wireless instant messaging technology that will have a focus on location awareness capability," said Lee Hancock, Go2 Systems Inc.'s founder and president. "Retail and service organizations can use this technology to communicate with consumers --a natural progression to extending our unique product offerings into practical business applications."
Go2 Messenger is the platform for retail and service partners to provide added value to consumers interested in knowing about their specific services. Consumers can maximize this utility by communicating with businesses, friends and family.
Go2 Messenger allows users to send instant messages, receive instant notification, screen incoming messages and reply to senders with one touch. Users don't have to have the mini browser open, and will receive message notification by vibration or tone at any time. The Go2 Messenger function can be activated or deactivated at the user's convenience.
"Go2 Messenger will not be a simple chat function. We will combine Go2's extensive location-based products and services to create a convenient tool for the wireless Web," said Hancock. "Go2 provides significant benefits to its users and can also serve as an extensive mobile platform for delivering commercial information to mobile customers."
Go2's new wireless instant messaging solution is currently available to Go2 users on any Web phone or wireless handheld device with service provided through Phone.com's UP.Link server suite, and is compatible with Phone.com 3.x UP.Browsers. To obtain Go2 Messenger, users may sign up for a free Go2 Account for their wireless Web phone, RIM device or online desktop at http://www.go2online.com and then access additional information on how to use the service.
Go2 offers location-based information such as directions to real-world locations based on a user's precise location or destination. Additional content such as movie times and locations, weather, news, horoscopes, sports scores and restaurant reviews are available to its wireless brand-specific Web sites, such as go2century21.com, go2jiffylube.com and go2super8.com, as well as topic-specific sites such as go2burgers.com, go2movies.com and go2hotels.com.
