Comverse, a subsidiary of Comverse Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CMVT), the world's leading supplier of software and systems
enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication and billing
services, and Skype(TM), the global Internet communications company,
today announced Skype Klonies(TM), an innovative avatar service that
lets users personalize Skype with special characters that reflect
their personalities, moods and interests.
   Using the Klonies Studio in the Skype website, users can create
and frequently update their unique Klonie image -- changing
hairstyles, clothing and accessories, expressions, locations, animated
activities and more. Klonies appear as the Skype Caller ID on the
screen of the called party, representing how the user would like to be
seen, and reflecting the user's appearance, interests, and feelings.
As part of the launch and as the world's attention turns to soccer, a
special "Football Mania" content catalogue has been created, which
will allow users to dress their Klonies in fans' clothing and
accessories, perform the well-known ola wave in the football stadium,
and much more.
   "Recent surveys we conducted show that personalization
capabilities are important to the Skype community," said Saul Klein,
VP Marketing, Skype. "Avatars are a key component of the Skype
personalization strategy. Klonies are debuting on the Skype site and
launching with a "Football Mania" section offering fun and topical
content to everyone on Skype."
   "We believe that Klonies will be popular among Skype users, and
will enhance Skype's reputation as an industry innovator," said Zeev
Bregman, Chief Executive Officer at Comverse. "In addition, the Skype
Klonies will be valuable for Skype in the mold of other
personalization services, such as the ringtone and wallpaper market."
