SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 11/19/09 --
As the retail industry gears up for
unprecedented Black Friday savings, Beejive is letting BeejiveIM for iPhone
users break their own shopping records by helping them keep in touch and
find the best deals. This native, highly customizable iPhone app supports
AIM®/iChat®/MobileMe®, MSN®/Windows Live®, Yahoo!®, MySpace,
GoogleTalk®, ICQ®, Facebook chat & Jabber, allowing users to access all
of their IM clients from one user-friendly interface. With BeejiveIM,
users can experience the connectivity and full features of desktop instant
messaging from their iPhones, making it much easier and cost-effective to
communicate than via texting.
BeejiveIM for iPhone also offers many specific features that can come in
handy during mall jaunts:
-- Photo sharing: Wonder if that shirt is the right green to match your
cousin's eyes? Take a picture and in one simple step send it off to his
wife to check.
-- File transfer: Share electronic gift certificates with your friends as
you shop.
-- Voice chat: Hands too full of shopping bags to type? Voice chat lets
you talk and shop.
-- Group chat: This newest BeejiveIM feature lets you chat with all of
your shopping buddies at once, helping you find bargains -- and make sure
no one duplicates presents -- as you go.
"Rather than sending costly texts to your friends and families to find out
what size sweater your cousin John is wearing this year or what little Suzy
wants for the holidays, we encourage all holiday shoppers to use BeejiveIM
to keep in touch," said Kai Yu, founder and CEO, Beejive. "BeejiveIM lets
you see who is available at that very moment, meaning you won't lose
precious shopping time -- or texting rates -- waiting around for a response
from someone who isn't even there. Plus, with BeejiveIM, you can chat with
your family and friends any time, even when you are waiting for those
middle of the night Black Friday sales to begin. Consider BeejiveIM for
your new, best shopping friend."
BeejiveIM for iPhone is available for download for $9.99. Please visit the
iPhone App Store to buy today, or visit http://beejive.com/iphone/ for
