ENUM DiscovererWhat is ENUM Discoverer?
ENUM Discoverer boosts the power of the address book of your phone. ENUM Discoverer showcases the discovery mechanism behind ENUM: using a number you know to get the information you want. It was a finalist in “the Best Global Application” at the Liz Dengate Thrush Foundation “2010 Internet Awards for New Zealand” hosted by Communications and Information Technology Minister, Hon Steven Joyce. ENUM Discoverer runs on your phone quietly in the background, notifying you when people in your address book publish new information about themselves. Why should you manually add every Twitter account, change of email address or new subscription to the latest social media craze for everyone in your address book, when ENUM Discoverer can do it for you? Corporate users and privacy-minded people will enjoy the automatic retrieval of public keys, so they can secure their communications with 100% certainty that they are not being eavesdropped. And someone doesn't answer the phone because she is in an environment where she cannot talk, ENUM may find out how to send her that important message over IM. When you are dialing a number that is ENUM-enabled, or get a call from someone that has ENUM, ENUM Discoverer wakes up. And gives you all it can find on the net about the person you call - so even before you press call or receive you get the latest message in Facebook or Status.net, or that picture of their newborn child or the top of the Himalaya the person you are about to call just uploaded to Flickr 1 minute ago. You don't have to change the way you work, ENUM Discoverer does all the hard work for you. Download ENUM Discoverer for free:

Demo video'sIn this demo you see what happens when we add Bob to our contacts in our phone. ENUM Discoverer automatically digs up all the social media used by Bob and keeps it up to date - and what's more, it can do so for every one of your contacts. In this demo you see what happens when we call someone we don't know yet. Not a lot. Until we activate ENUM Discoverer. Now when we call someone, and he or she has ENUM-enabled his phone number, we get to see their name, their latest tweets, video's and pictures they posted on the web. Or where they are on a map. In this demo you see what happens when someone we don't know yet calls us. Again we activate ENUM Discoverer, and the walls between the internet and your phone tumble down. Even before we pick up the phone we get to see their picture, their address and what they have been up to on Hyves, Twitter and Facebook.
