Kibits Corp. Introduces App for iPhone and iPod Touch That Allows Users to Instantly Create and Engage With Real-World Groups

Company Sets Out to Provide Powerful New Communications Experiences to Mobile-Centric Consumers and Professionals

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kibits Corp. today announced the release of its namesake micro-social networking app for iPhone and iPod touch, available now on the App Store. The first-of-its-kind Kibits App introduces a new, natural way for mobile-centric consumers and professionals to engage with friends, family, and co-workers from the convenience of their iPhone or iPod touch.

By leveraging unambiguous real-world relationships--such as existing contacts and Facebook friends, calendar appointments, and physical proximity--the Kibits App is the fastest way to create and connect with groups on-the-fly. Each Kibits group serves as a micro-social network, enabling focused conversations with real-time sharing of photos, videos, links, locations, notes, even documents from iCloud and Dropbox, along with built-in chat, comments, and ratings. All with a single app that automatically organizes the conversation.

"Today, consumers and professionals alike are increasingly taking a 'mobile-first' approach to personal connectivity, communications, and computing," said Matt Cutler, co-founder and CEO of Kibits. "We built Kibits specifically for these users: by tapping in to nearly all of the capabilities of iOS, the app offers an intuitive, powerful new way to connect and collaborate in real-time and in the real world. Now people can avoid juggling dozens of single-purpose apps in order to share different types of media with their friends and co-workers."

As a micro-social network, Kibits spans social and professional contexts. For example:

    --  Share with different groups of friends. Use Kibits to have one
        conversation with a local circle about local news, another to plan a
        get-together with best friends, and yet another to commiserate with
        fellow parents about toddler temper tantrums.
    --  Simplify family communications: Create a single place to stay in the
        loop about schedules, dinner plans, activities, and the quick changes in
        plans that inevitably make up the day.
    --  Coordinate with colleagues. At work, Kibits provides unified, real-time
        spaces for sharing and discussing project-specific information, from
        quick photos of whiteboard notes to documents related to critical client
        deliverables.
    --  Hold on-the-fly discussions at an event. Kibits allows users to
        temporarily see if other Kibits users are nearby, and invite them to
        join a group. These unique proximity-based social features are useful
        for connecting with people at a conference or the PTA meeting or quickly
        adding your co-workers to a discussion.
The Kibits App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore.
