Synchronize all your iPhone contacts with UNYK to never lose them. Recover them in 1 click in case of problem with your device (bug, loss, etc…).

If one of your contacts changes its phone number in UNYK, it will automatically appear in your iPhone and vice-versa.

Now you can really be found on Google!

unyk — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 19:05:20 +0000

After many requests from our users, we have just added a new, very important and very useful functionnality to our public profiles, which were launched in February: the possibility to make connection requests to other users of the service, through that user’s public profile.

What that means is that an old friend or colleague who finds your Web profile through a search on Google can now send you a small message through UNYK to ask to get access to your contact information, to be able to contact you. Of course, you are free to accept or refuse any request.

Same thing if it is you who is looking for old friends or colleagues.

A small reminder : to manage the content of your Web profile (i.e. your public profile), go to the section My profile / Web profile on UNYK.com.

Add a note to a profile!

unyk — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:17:58 +0000

You’ve been asking for it for a long time and here it is: you can now add notes to the profile of any of your contacts!

Convenient to add the phone number of people who haven’t added it themselves, to remember the first name of his wife, or if he’s allergic to shellfish.

Try it out and let us know what you think!

Your UNYK profile, now more ergonomic!

unyk — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:21:43 +0000

UNYK has put a new and improved version of its profiles online this week, which makes managing your contacts even easier, by allowing you to define which category (business associate, family member, friend, etc.) to apply to a contact, as well as that contact’s access to your information directly from his profile.

The team has also corrected a few bugs caused by recent updates to the website. For exemple, you can now add again a contact that you had deleted.

Thank you for your patience!

Create new contacts directly in your address book

unyk — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 22:14:34 +0000

Finally, a long-awaited new feature is available in your UNYK address book: adding and editing new contacts! It is now possible to create new contacts directly into UNYK, whether they have an email address or not. All you need to do is click on the “Create a contact” icon in UNYK, and you can edit and save their information directly in your address book, at least until these contacts join UNYK and do it for you!

With this neat new feature, your UNYK address book can now be used to combine all your other address books, even the paper one you have lying next to your phone or the post-it notes full of phone numbers you have everywhere. And this new and improved address book still follows you everywhere… you can access it anywhere with Internet, or by synchronizing it to your mobile phone.

So go ahead, ditch you paper address books and try out our new editing tool. Let us know what you think!

New public profiles let you be visible on search engines on your own terms

unyk — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 03:40:27 +0000

Our objective has always been the same: letting our users take control of their information, contained in their contacts’ address books. By opening profiles to be indexed by search engines (Google, Yahoo!…) and allowing users to determine what they want to be visible on their public profiles, we take an additional step towards the management of users’ digital identity.

Basically, the public profile can contain all information included in the user’s UNYK profile, except for contact information, which is always reserved to authorized contacts. Through that, we allow users to be visible on the Internet, by letting them be found by web searches.

A word from the UNYK founder on public profiles: “We want our users to be able to use their UNYK profile as their identity online. They can share as much information as they want to be visible to other people. This way, they control their own visibility, and their own online identity. And they are able to make sure that the information visible about them is 100% accurate and up-to-date!”

Public profiles are only the beginning. More features are to come to make them even better! Stay tuned!

Karine,
Marketing Director
