Personal Goes Live

Personal launched a couple of days ago, and the coverage has been terrific. As a Startup Circle member, PDEC wanted to share the news.

    Personal offers personal data store services on the web, for individuals, for free. People put their data into “gems” which then allow for the reuse of the data at the person’s discretion. Personal is very clear that people own their own data in their data stores. Personal plans to add iPhone and Android apps later this month.

    PDEC wishes Personal well on its journey toward success!
