ZYB Networks Backup Service

COPENHAGEN -- ZYB (www.zyb.com), the company that brings mobile data to life, today announced that a new version of the service had just been released. Currently known as a popular and easy-to-use mobile phone backup service, ZYB now takes social networking to a different level by not just storing content from the phone online, but connecting you to your friends, who then take over the task of keeping their contact information updated in your mobile phone. With the new version, ZYB lets you turn your mobile phone’s address book into a social network and connects you to the people you know from real life.

In a very simple manner, seamlessly supported by more than 400 phones, ZYB uploads your mobile phone’s address book and calendar to your online account within minutes after you sign up to the service. As a result, you get online access to your phone’s content from anywhere, and transferring the phone’s content to a new phone in the future is easily done over-the-air from zyb.com. In a pioneering way, the new ZYB also links your phone’s address book to an online community that is constantly connected to your mobile phone, so any updates made by your friends, are automatically updated in your mobile phone. As such, ZYB is the “missing link” between the mobile phone and online social networking, opening up a whole new dimension of social networking, where your online personal network is created from your existing contacts in your phone. According to the leading social networking news site, Mashable, this is “the most appealing part” of the new version of ZYB.

“We believe that your personal network is not something you create; it’s something you already have. Next generation social networks need to evolve around people’s real-life contacts and be “life-capturing” to reflect people’s real-life behavior and relations. The mobile phone has been used for a decade now as a life-capturing device, keeping a record of who you meet and talk to in the real world. Connecting the online social network with the phone’s address book, is the most effective way of moving social networks closer to real life,” said Tommy Ahlers, CEO and co-founder of ZYB.

“There are still a lot of people out there who don’t see the point in building their social network online when they already have a social network in real life. With ZYB they can now leverage the power of social networking without building an online presence from scratch,” adds Tommy Ahlers.
