Novawiz, Inc., developer of Odigo (http://www.odigo.com) web surfing, chat and messaging tool, has unvieled "Homepager," a new feature that enables Web surfers to be notified when a visitor enters their home page or any other Web page designated by them.

Of Odigo, ZDNet says: "Not just another instant-messaging tool, Odigo lets you configure your profiles in exceptional detail and edit your interests of the moment to focus on what you want now. If you're tired of IRC and aimless surfing, take a look at Odigo."

"Homepager adds a level of functionality that will promote both community and person-to-person commerce," said Shai Buber, president of  Novawiz. "Now, rather than guessing why an individual visited a particular page, or wondering what they think of it, you can pose the question in real time. The feedback can then be incorporated to strengthen the site to the interests of that particular "community."  The small to medium size Web site homepage owner who has set up a limited e-commerce function can get immediate feedback, and even enter into a conversation about their pricing, offer special deals or
on-the-spot discounts.

Homepager is the latest addition to Odigo, a free Internet search and communications tool. Odigo combines real-time information, dynamic graphics and a sophisticated search technique based on users' real-time interests. It merges instant messaging, chat-on-page and temporary web page note posting
tools into one fun, easy-to-use, feature-rich application. Odigo also lets users build friends lists, send e-mail and files, suggest URLs to be added to Odigo's search directory, and select their own online "face" from ten galleries of images.

Odigo has been well received by the Internet industry since its launch in August.  According to a recent About.com review, "No one instant messaging program has carried the options to even compete with ICQ's community but... Odigo has done just that. Not only do they offer the same features as ICQ
does, but they offer more."  Betanews.com's take on Odigo: "If you're bored of ICQ, give Odigo a shot, it's a neat piece of software." In a four-star rating, 321free.com says "Odigo is a revolutionary new way of communicating and getting around on the web.  In simpler terms, Odigo is ICQ on steroids! ZDNet
says: "Not just another instant-messaging tool, Odigo lets you configure your profiles in exceptional detail and edit your interests of the moment to focus on what you want now. If you're tired of IRC and aimless surfing, take a look at Odigo."

Odigo requires a Pentium 100 or higher, 32MB or more of memory, Windows 95/98/2000 or NT 4.0.  Odigo supports Internet Explorer versions 3.0 and higher and Netscape versions 3.0 and higher, NeoPlanet versions 2.x and 5 and Opera version 3.6.  Versions of Odigo for Macintosh and other platforms are currently under development as well.
