Austin, Texas - The Grackle. A bird known for its persistent squawk and profound gift for gab. It's also the namesake for Grackl, a totally unique group chat tool that delivers the power of social networking with the privacy of personal IM. Grackl is built on breakthrough mobile technology that connects whole groups. No CCing. No mass text messages and e-mails. No more public posts on social networking pages. Simply touch a button and start squawking with your flock and even send images with your comments.

 

Plus, Grackl lets you organize your fellow flock into private groups that reflect your real-life social networks. Blab with your softball buddies in one session. Yack with your classmates in another. Share only what you want with the people you want. Grackl puts control of the conversation in your hands. Grackl has a full set of cool features that let you stay in touch on the go in a new way:

 

Grackl Chat:

* Simplify and socialize with an intuitive Grackl chat interface

* Post photos to ongoing Grackl conversations

* Keep fellow Gracklers close with one-touch access to a convenient address book

* Catch up on the convo or go back to a previous comment with automatic conversation archiving

 

Group Grackl:

* Socialize selectively by chatting with different groups separately and privately

* Mingle freely with seamless switching between ongoing conversations

* Add as many - or as few - friends as you want to your conversations

* Manage your conversations with privacy settings, invitations, and user blocking
