DNS - MeetingWave Launches New E-mail ID Verification Service

MeetingWave has announced the launch of a new patent pending verification technology that allows individuals to verify work and alumni affiliations for use virtually anywhere online. With this new offering, users can simply verify e-mail addresses for work or other affiliations and click to display an indication of that verification on their public profile.

A "verified" e-mail address is one that has been confirmed as authentic and valid by a user clicking through a verification email sent by MeetingWave. Verified email domains (e.g., @ibm.com or @brown.edu) can be displayed on the user’s profile page letting others know the user is affiliated with the company or school via a valid email address.

Most importantly however, the user’s full email address (john.smith@ibm.com) will not be displayed protecting the user’s identity and contact information.

The new feature also allows users to verify their background information to other users before meeting and also ask others to do the same.

“We have heard about fake alumni on LinkedIn and Facebook (News - Alert) and about various online-scams,” John Boyd, MeetingWave’s founder explained. “MeetingWave’s new verification feature promotes trust and confidence in the information posted on a profile page and can be used virtually anywhere providing a safer and more reliable online experience.”

Individuals can also use their verified email on their profile page at other popular sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, as well as for blog comments, and when using Craigslist. The need to validate identity on Craisglist, in particular, is an issue for many, and MeetingWave’s new functionality allows users to request to see someone else’s verified page before meeting them or before bringing them into the user’s network or agreeing to buy or sell an item on Craigslist.

MeetingWave, owned by TTB Technologies, helps members develop real, personal relationships for business or social purposes, while providing them with control, privacy and flexibility in setting up these meetings.
