Original Press Release:
Zapatec Introduces Zcounts to Minimize Spam and Give Users Control Over Web Accounts in a Single Location
New Module Available on 6zap Provides Tool for Web Users to Generate E-mail Aliases and Secure Passwords for Subscriptions, Purchases and Other Online Activities
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 2 /-- Zapatec, Inc., a leading provider of Web 2.0 development tools, today introduced Zcounts, an application that gives Internet users full control over all their online accounts from a single location. Zcounts is a multifunctional tool that helps users better control spam from e-mail addresses provided to third-party entities, track all accounts created on the Web and improve personal security by generating random passwords that are stored in a central location.
"The amount of e-mail that individuals receive at work and at home today is often overwhelming. It is compounded by the fact that users provide their e-mail address for accounts they create, or when signing up to newsletters, which results in even more unwanted messages and spam," said Dror Matalon, CEO of Zapatec. "Zcounts has been specifically designed to give users the power to manage where e-mail is coming from and better organize online activities. Users can choose to give their real e-mail address only to people they personally know and create Zcounts for everyone else."
Zcounts is a new module for 6zap, a single-page AJAX application providing users with full-featured e-mail, calendar and contact interfaces that have a familiar look and feel. 6zap offers full desktop functionality without the complexity of other collaboration platforms on the market today.
With Zcounts, users can generate a unique e-mail alias and random password -- or Zcount -- for each new online account they create, whether it's for newsletters, subscriptions or other Web sites. All e-mails are then forwarded into users main accounts, where they also can save all of their account and password information. If specific alias e-mails begin receiving spam, users then can delete that Zcount to stop incoming e-mail from the offending organization. As an added benefit, Zcounts helps users identify which organizations share their e-mail addresses with third parties.
6zap is now available as a beta version, and is available as a hosted application for individuals and small businesses. Service providers can use 6zap in two ways. The 6zap software can be downloaded and installed on their servers, or it can be launched on Amazon EC2 as an Amazon AMI under the business' account, taking less than an hour to set up. In both scenarios, businesses have full control of the application, enabling them to add or remove users, customize features and integrate the application with other software.
