Raises $500,000 to launch richer form of email, micro-blogging and tweeting.
Bccthis technology allows users to send secure private messages to selected recipients while simultaneously sending a message to a larger audience.
Its Outlook plug-in offers Cc or Bcc fields along with an original email. It also has a Twitter client, which provides an interface to send direct messages to specific recipients along with the original tweet.
“Email has hardly changed since the first email was sent 40 years ago," said Dave Waldman, CEO of Bccthis.
“Each messaging platform works more or less the same way, requiring users to send the same message to each recipient, despite the level of information possessed by, or relationship to, each recipient. Bccthis allows people to manage this information and relationship disparity in a fresh and intuitive fashion.”
The tech is now in public beta for Microsoft Outlook and Twitter and plans to launch on the BlackBerry platform next month.
