Problem

Documents become out of date too rapidly (updated, renamed or moved away).

Contacts are changed so frequently that becomes hard to always stay up-to-date and be connected with the people of your life.

People and Companies need to inform everyone via email/sms/call about contacts changes and documents updates.

Solution

WhereIsNow™ always provides the address(es) where you can find the latest version of a document or contact.

Every information registered inside WhereIsNow™ received an associated key. Everytime an updated information becomes available, the Publisher simply registers the new information's address(es).

Using the information-key association, WhereIsNow™ permits you to get the updated information at the specified address(es).
