Product Description

Nextumi doesn’t just redefine sharing; it evolves it via one-step viral functionality across all platforms, networks and devices. The Share2Me Browser Button is a button added to Internet Explorer, Firefox or the Safari browser. Once installed, the Share2Me button enables users to share digital content in a single step. The Share2Me button can be downloaded from Nextumi’s Website for free and integrates address books from most email and instant messenger applications.

Market Opportunity

Web and mobile users, ages 18-25, are changing the way the world shares digital media. They share more photos than documents and have hundreds of contacts on different modalities, such as Facebook, IM and cell phone text messaging. Although digital sharing is chaotic and uncoordinated, the value of each modality used to share is held in high esteem by these users. There has been no complete solution for connecting these disparate networks. Share2me is the key to getting everyone on the same digital page.

Demo Says

As kids, we learned it was nice to share. As plugged-in adults, we know it’s hard to share our digital stuff. That’s why DEMO revisits this topic again and again; we’re looking for a solution that bridges devices and media types and user experience and just makes sharing content bone simple. Nextumi takes a big step in that direction. So now, it’s not only nice to share, it’s easy to share, too.
