Press Release Summary: Free online network + text messaging tool helps people
remember; now introduces new Shortcuts product, Netflix and Amazon first of many
integrations

Press Release Body: San Francisco, Calif., August 12, 2008 -- 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. With the launch of
Shortcuts, kwiry users can now use Text Messaging (SMS) to directly add movies to
their Netflix queue, add products to their Amazon Wish List, and add appointments to
their calendar.

For example, if a friend recommends a movie at lunch, simply text "netflix" followed
by the movie title to kwiry's Text Messaging shortcode, 59479 (k-w-i-r-y). kwiry
automatically adds the movie to your Netflix queue and the movie arrives on your
doorstep - no more scribbling down the name on a napkin or forgetting the
recommendation.

kwiry's new Shortcuts feature includes the following services:

. Netflix: Users send a message with "netflix" followed by the name of a movie to
kwiry (e.g. netflix mystic river) and the movie will be added to their Netflix
queue.
. Amazon: Similarly, users can text "amazon" followed by the name of a product
(e.g. amazon jawbone headset) to add it to their Amazon Wish List.
. Calendar tasks: Users can also add an appointment to their calendar via text
message using the shortcut word "task" (e.g. task buy anniversary gift 8-25).
. List: Users can send in multiple kwirys in one text message with the "list"
shortcut (e.g. list alicia keys, www.chucknorrisfacts.com, get dry cleaning).

kwiry is a free productivity service that turns text messages, emails, voice calls,
or photos into online reminders. Users simply text anything to 59479 and links to
search results will automatically be delivered to their own kwiry page, email, RSS,
Facebook, iGoogle, or other favorite Web startpage. Users can also share kwirys with
friends, offering a great way to see what others are discovering. And, integration
with calendars such as Outlook, iCal, and Google Calendar, helps keep busy people on
track.

Along with the launch of Shortcuts, kwiry is updating its popular "It's On Us"
promotion. Each week, the company will randomly select a kwiry Shortcut to Amazon or
Netflix, and the person who sent it in will receive an item from their Amazon Wish
List or a free month of their Netflix subscription as a gift from kwiry. See kwiry's
Website at for more details.

"These new Shortcuts are all about making our service even easier to use in every
day life. We noticed that a large portion of the kwiry community frequently texts in
book titles and movie names, so we decided to eliminate the extra steps and let our
users interface directly with their Netflix or Amazon account," said kwiry
Co-founder and CEO Ron Feldman.

"The best part is that kwiry takes advantage of tools and technology that everyone
has. While it works great with an iPhone, anyone can use all of kwiry's cool
features, even if they haven't upgraded their phone in years," he continued.
