beamME Launches iPhone-to-Twitter Beaming and New beamME Pitch App
NEW YORK, May 5, 2009 — beamME, the world’s most popular mobile-native business networking solution, today announced the addition of beam-to-Twitter support for iPhone. This free update allows beamME users to send electronic business cards, resumes or documents directly from their iPhone/iPod Touch securely to any Twitter user ID, simplifying real-world networking. Today also marks the launch of beamME Pitch — the first app for sending a professionally formatted PowerPoint, PDF, Word Doc or text file from an iPhone to any other mobile device or computer, enabling green, real-time delivery of marketing materials. beamME Pitch is now available for $5.99 and a tree is planted for every copy sold in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation.
“Connecting Twitter to beamME was a no-brainer,” said Gabe Zichermann, CEO of rmbrME. “Professionals can now use their Twitter ID to unlock a wide range of business networking opportunities.”
beamME apps enable professionals to exchange their electronic contact information, resumes and documents with ease. When making a new contact or lead, simply enter a contact point into beamME on the iPhone/iPod Touch and the service securely delivers your information to their mobile phone or computer. Recipients do not need to create an account or download software to access your information, and no Smartphone is required. In Twitter, vCards and documents are delivered as secure links in “D” messages, and non-followers are invited to connect before receiving information.
beamME Pitch enables professionals to upload an executive summary, presentation, brochure or any other document in most standard formats (PowerPoint, PDF, Word, Text) and beam it — along with a vCard and introduction — to any phone or computer.
“As the CEO of a high-growth startup, I’m always talking about my company,” said Ron Bouganim, Founder of branchnext, the leading provider of alerts-as-a-service: http://branchnext.com/letmeknow. “beamME Pitch makes it easier to close deals and make a lasting impression. It’s a tool no executive should be without.”
