Press Release Summary: Company hand-selected to launch groundbreaking web collaboration tools at prestigious DEMOfall 2007 conference
Press Release Body: Manchester, UK, September 24, 2007 - Yuuguu (www.yuuguu.com) announced the official release of its Yuuguu web collaboration tools at DEMOfall 2007 - the premier launchpad for the world's most promising technologies, products, and services. Designed for an increasingly mobile world, Yuuguu helps people work together remotely, across different platforms, with as many colleagues as needed, just as if they were sitting in the same room.
Yuuguu, derived from the Japanese word for fusion, enables users to see, share, and take control of each other's computer screens and applications. Users can ask anyone to securely share their computer screen in real time, whether they're on a PC or Mac platform - and without having to download or install any software. Colleagues just need a browser and Internet connection to participate.
Free, easy-to-install, and easy-to-use, Yuuguu can be used by team members working on a project or friends sharing applications. Colleagues and friends can message and chat while they share screens for enhanced collaboration. The platform includes high quality, low cost voice conferencing services for one-to-one and one-to-many voice calls. And Yuuguu's integrated presence status brings a sense of community to web sharing, as users can see when friends are online and click to invite them.
"Historically web collaboration tools have focused on online presentations - allowing enterprise organizations to deliver training and presentations to a passive audience," said Anish Kapoor, Chief Executive Officer at Yuuguu. "Yuuguu takes web collaboration to a new level by integrating community, messaging, and collaboration in a whole new, and more natural way."
"Yuuguu understands the importance of the human ingredient in technology. Their collaboration platform incorporates a sense of community that brings great value to both business and personal applications," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of DEMO. "I look forward to following Yuuguu's future after DEMO."
Yuuguu was hand-picked among hundreds of aspiring companies to launch their new products and services at DEMOfall 2007. The invitation-only event has established a reputation for spotting emerging trends in the technology industry and identifying innovative products and services most likely to have a significant impact on the marketplace in the coming year. The conference runs from September 24-26 and is held in San Diego, California.
