Forwarding iService

The Permanent Address for Anything and Everything "Webbed"

With an i-name you don't just have your own permanent address on the Web - you can have a permanent address for anything you want to point to.

It takes only seconds with the i-name forwarding service. Just log on to your setup page, select the i-name you want to use (if you have more than one), select the forwarding name from the built-in dictionary (or create your own), and type or paste in the URL you want to point to.

That's it. Suddenly you have a lifetime link to that resource that never has to change, no matter how many times you move or reorganise it!

For Individuals

• Create persistent links to your blog, home page, resume, photos, videos, songs, favorites lists, wikis, or anything else, that you can give to your friends, family, associates, and others, and know that it will always work.
• Takes only seconds to set up or update a link.
• Use the XDI.org personal resource dictionary to create simple links to commonly used resources that are easy for others to remember.
• Especially recommended for bloggers and taggers. (See the i-tag initiative at http://www.itags.net.)

For Businesses

• The Forwarding Service enables persistent, lifetime bookmarks that will continue to work even if you reorganise your Web site or your company.
• Use the XDI.org business resource dictionary to make it easy and intuitive for customers, suppliers, partners, employees, retirees, and investors to find and link to the resources they need.
• Increase the search engine relevance ranking of key pages on your Web site.
• It's a simple, secure Web interface that is easy for your IT personnel to manage from any browser.

For Communities

• No more broken bookmarks when you reorganise your Web site.
• Persistent links across partner organisations that won't break as different Web sites evolve.
• Vastly simpler navigation to common resources across a diverse community of Web sites using the free XDI.org community resource dictionary.
