For those of you who missed it (i.e., virtually everybody outside of Canada and Australia), AKA was featured on Call for Help with Leo LaPorte. Leo’s a leading web 2.0 pundit, and he gives us a great review.
You can watch an except of the show here .

Look for our interview on Leo LaPorte’s Call for Help program, probably airing around November 13. If you miss it, or live outside of their broadcast area, you can eventually download it from Google Video. It’s a great show about technology and internet life. Check out their website.

Hey everybody. We’ve been in our private beta launch since April of this year. With the support of a small (but dedicated) group of friends and colleagues, we’ve accomplished a ton of testing and have received great suggestions and feedback. We’ve now implemented many of the features that were suggested and there are more to come.
Now it’s time to stop testing. We’re ready to go live.
Look for more regular blog entries from this point forward.

We’re pleased to announce the beta launch of our brainchild, AlwaysKnownAs.com, which we believe provides the best way to manage and share your contact information. Before we go any further, we need to ask forgiveness from our spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends, close friends, pets and other family members who’ve patiently supported us during the 12-month gestation. You’re all saints.
Here are a few things to remember about this beta-launch of AKA:
• We’ve really strived to make this a true Web 2.0 experience (apologies for the overuse of that term) by allowing users to control their own information, by constantly updating our service based on your feedback, and by making the AKA system open for integration with other online services.
• It’s a beta-launch dude! Please give us your feedback. Let us know if you find a bug. Suggest new features! Be gentle, yet firm.
• This is important. We’ve set out to be “address book agnostic”. Anyone can use the online features of AKA. In addition, our initial launch supports Outlook and Blackberry address books. Palm is coming soon. And we haven’t forgotten our beloved Mac users…support for Mac OS address book is right around the corner.
Lastly, just a quick note about our intentions. We’re a bunch of internet enthusiasts, maybe a lot like you. We’re protective about our own information, so we tried to make a service that will please ourselves. We promise to be honest and transparent with you. That’s what we would want and what you deserve. Let’s keep an open dialog going and hopefully AKA will just get better and better.
