YOUnite(R) Receives U.S. Patent for Distributed Management Framework for
Personal Attributes
Technology Enables Global Information Exchange that Includes Both Consumers
and Business

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- YOUnite has been awarded a
patent to protect its unique solution for user-controlled information sharing.
Information drives the digital world, but the challenge is to ensure that this
data is accurate and available to only authorized parties.
YOUnite has created the solution: a patented, flexible,
platform-independent and scalable technology for distributed information
sharing. This will be the center of the information exchange for Web 3.0 and
the future of the Internet.
This groundbreaking, patented technology enables an interchange to allow
sharing of user-controlled information all over the Internet as well as across
multiple devices -- seamlessly connecting people, communities, organizations
and businesses. The technology allows users to create secure, personal-
attribute and personal-preference data exchanges enabling businesses or
individuals to securely distribute this information on a user-controlled and
customized basis without having to store it on a centralized server. YOUnite
technology ensures the data is secure, available, accurate and consistent
across all environments and devices.
YOUnite, founded in 2005 by two experienced Silicon Valley entrepreneurs,
allows users to share information such as shopping and travel preferences,
medical data, social networking information and more -- without requiring the
information to be centrally stored. This lack of a centralized storage is
critical to data security, privacy and global acceptance. The technology
allows users to create and manage their own risk profile scheme and is
designed to scale in large, networked, distributed communities such as
Google's OpenSocial, Facebook's FriendConnect and the VISA network. YOUnite
was created to federate control schemas (such as personal security profiles)
between communities, business entities and individuals.
"YOUnite will revolutionize the way that personal data is shared," said
Tony Siress, YOUnite, Inc. CEO and co-founder.
The YOUnite platform could be used by companies ranging from large e-tail
stores like Amazon to Visa and Mastercard or social networking sites like
Facebook and MySpace.
Mark Fitzpatrick, YOUnite, Inc. CTO and co-founder said, "Keeping people
and organizations up-to-date with the information that you chose is a critical
piece of the digital promise yet to be delivered. YOUnite gets us one step
closer."
YOUnite plans to license this patented technology around the globe,
enabling all these islands of information to "YOUnite". For further
