New Self-Destructing Instant Messaging Technology that Provides Users Privacy and Security Unveiled by BigString Corporation

Innovative Application Prevents Logging, Saving or Screen Printing IMsRED BANK, N.J., April 16 /CNW/ -- BigString Corporation (OTC Bulletin
Board: BSGC) today unveiled a new self-destructing instant messaging
technology that enables users to send instant messages (IMs) that
self-destruct after being sent. Additionally, IMs sent via BigString's service
cannot be copied, logged or screen-printed. BigString IM is a free,
advertising supported service available at http://www.bigstring.com. It is
available as a web version or as a free plug-in for AOL's AIM.
    The patent-pending technology leaves no trail or copy of the IM on any
server once the message self-destructs. The time for self-destruction is set
by the sender, and can be set to disappear in as little as a few seconds to
over an hour. The sender can also choose a number of visual effects for the
self-destruction. A message will disappear in real time simultaneously from
both the sending and receiving IM screens.
    "We have become so complacent about texting, chatting and gossiping
online that we have forgotten that our conversations might be stored and
archived forever. Just ask a politician like New York Governor David Paterson,
a celebrity like Charlie Sheen, or the American Idol contestant whose private
pictures were spread around the Internet against her will. That's why we
created an application that now gives consumers back their privacy and
control," said Darin Myman, President and CEO of BigString. He added that,
"'Going BigString' gives you the ability to have a private and secure online
conversation with the peace of mind that it will disappear at the exact time
you chose."
    Recent surveys indicate that over 70% of Internet users use some form of
IMing with over 25% using a form of IM at work. "This makes the secure concept
of 'Going BigString,' a natural for all those communicating in real time
online," stated Mr. Myman.About BigStringBigString Corporation, owner and operator of BigString.com, is a provider
