There is much more to Qbix...

Empowering the User

The experience of a typical user of Qbix apps centers around their contacts. If the user is an individual, they may have contact labels such as "friends" and "family". If the user is an organization, they may have contact labels like "admins" and "directors".

This gives the user a great deal of power to express their desires. They can grant access to a particular photo album only to "family". They might subscribe to get SMS alerts only when one of their "close friends" is inviting them out. An organization can likewise set up the exact roles and permissions it needs, based on its contact list. People can add organizations as contacts, and vice versa.

As a result, you can build natural, rewarding social experiences for your users. There is far more at stake here than just technological challenges. The architects of Qbix spend a great deal of time thinking about the sociological implications particular designs have on the group dynamic vs the individual. We care about issues such as trust, flexibility, fairness, and group effects that lead to good experiences.

Deep and Responsible Integration

Users of Qbix apps are able to import contacts from GMail, Yahoo Mail, and facebook friends. Thanks to PhoneGap, they are also able to access the address book on their mobile phone.

The contacts found in a person's mobile phone are people he or she is most likely to have real-life connections with, whereas the other address books are more for online sharing. Please give a lot of thought to what kind of contacts you want your app to integrate with.

Groups for iPhone

Qbix, Inc. — the company behind the Qbix platform — have a lot of experience with Apple's policies around contacts, having released one of the most popular apps for managing contacts: Groups for iPhone.
