Odigo And ZipSend Launch First Of Its Kind Instant Gift Catalog

[BigBlueBall News]

Press Release

May 9, 2001

Odigo, Inc., the leading provider of instant messaging and presence solutions, and ZipSend, a division of FrogMagic, Inc., the ecommerce infrastructure company that allows users to send packages and tangible items using just an email address (and now IM address), jointly launched the first ever truly "instant" gift catalog today.


"Odigo Instant Gifts", as the service is called, enables Odigo users (and users of Odigo’s over 130 licensing customers) to bestow any of a wide selection of gifts, to any business or individual, with a creative new twist - the sender only needs to know the recipient’s Instant Messaging address to enable this real world delivery! The sender need not know the real identity, real world address or final destination of the package, as the final addressing is in the hands of the recipient via a secure, third party escrow service provided by ZipSend.
