After nearly a year in private Beta,
Silentale, which is calling itself the "Dropbox for communications", opens to the public today.
The service is a kind of personal CRM system, providing a searchable backup of your contacts, messages and attachments across various communication channels, including email and social networks Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
It's designed to address the fragmentation of electronic communication, combining a unified address book and archive of messages - see
previous TC Europe coverage.
Adopting a classic freemium model, Silentale comes in two flavoursThe free version is limited to 5 services (accounts) and can only be used to import 6 months of messagesThe premium plans, which are being introduced on 1st of June, offer up to 10 accounts and the ability to import 2 years of messages for $49/year, or for businesses that need to manage multiple channels, a $99/year price plan that supports up to 20 accounts with unlimited import.
However, premium accounts are being waved for users who sign-up before the end of May.
