Point your 
We’re joining ZYB!
There are at least two reasons we’re smiling in the Imity camp these days. First off, we now have quite a lot of new and impressively skilled colleagues at the slightly bigger and brighter Copenhagen ZYB office. Secondly, come fall Imity gets a new home: The ZYB Phonebook version 2.
So what’s the plan? We’ll let our users keep playing with Imity until we’re all set in the new ZYB Phonebook. To keep server maintenance down and our focus clear, we’ll be closing down for new signups in a matter of hours.
Looking back at our blue office chairs and worn out test phones, we’ve had a blast experimenting and meeting a lot of people as a natural part of it all. The numbers speak for themselves, our users, and the future of this thing: 400,000 encounters among 70,000 people. Who said tech people didn’t have social lives?
But why not head over to our new home, zyb.com and try the best phonebook tool out there?

[…] Danish startup Zyb has confirmed our report from last week that it bought mobile social-networking startup Imity. Here is Zyb’s press release and Imity’s blog post. As we noted previously: Imity is a mobile social network that locates people via the bluetooth feature on their handsets. It detects other members via bluetooth and send basic profile information to your phone. It also keeps track of people on its website, so you can check that out periodically from your normal computer. It bridges mobile and traditional social networks, which may help it gain critical mass. We first mentioned them last year. […]

Tillykke til Imity .. og Zyb
Skønt at se anstrengelserne for bl.a. Claus ‘Classy‘ Dahl har båret med Imity, som netop er blevet opkøbt af danske ZYB. Mmm, mere social software på mobilen i sigte. Sejt.
