10th April 2001 - CommonName, a
global Internet company, today launches the free 'Internet Identity for Life'
service for personal users. The free service replaces complicated web addresses
and hard to remember email addresses with simple words or names, which are
chosen by users. For the first time, personal users can establish unique,
Internet identities, never having to worry about keeping friends and colleagues
abreast of changes to their email or website address.
Yurong Lin, founder and CEO of CommonName says:
"Our objective as a company is to make the Internet more user friendly. To
do this we've developed technology that allows users to send emails or locate
websites using simple names or words. This means that users no longer have to
concern themselves with confusing technical idioms, such as 'http://', 'www',
'@' and '.com'. We truly believe that CommonName will revolutionise web
use."
To send an email, instead of typing in
john.smith@hotmail.com, users simply type the CommonName 'John Smith' into their
email package, such as Microsoft Outlook. Similarly, to visit a website, users
can type 'Yahoo' into their web browser's address bar, and be instantly taken to
their local Yahoo website. CommonName works with all major browsers and email
clients, including Outlook, Outlook Express and Eudora and can be downloaded
free from the CommonName website www.commonname.com.

offers a range of free tools that make the Internet easier to use. The key
