Flexible disclosure of information

Ripplex is available to both Windows and Mac users. This makes it easy to manage contact information for those people who use both types of PCs, for example, Windows at work and Mac at home.

In Ripplex, you decide which item should be disclosed to who, with the fine granularity of being able to select disclosure for each item and each friend. For example, show home phone number and home address to friend A, only email address to acquaintance B and MySpace ID to friend C. When you uncheck a box, previously disclosed information gets deleted from your friend's Ripplex!

Usually we are okay to disclose a particular set of information to a group of friends. Ripplex allows you to select multiple friends and then set disclosure settings for all of them at once. It also allows you to set the disclosure settings for selected categories and then augment your settings for a friend individually if you want.

When you change your data, updated information is automatically sent to your friends for whom you have chosen to disclosed certain information. You don't need to send the notifications such as"We moved to a new address", "my email address has change" etc. any more.

When your friends update the information, the updated information will be automatically appear on your Ripplex if the information is disclosed to you. You don't need to receive the notifications such as "We moved to a new address" , "my email address has change" etc. and then enter it to your address book yourself any more.

In many services, you may want to maintain a virtual identity and not disclose your real name or other contact information. With Ripplex, you can organize these friends along with all your other friends. For example, you can choose to not disclose your real name to some of your Twitter, Skype or MySpace friends.
