Dear Valued Customer,

This email is to notify everyone of a network maintenance window from 12:00 to 1:00 AM Sunday, September 28th. This will be our first connection disruption during last 8 months. The window is to upgrade the supervisor card in one of our distribution switches. Although this maintenance is limited to one distribution switch, it has the potential to affect all customers so we are notifying everyone. We are allowing one hour for the maintenance, but the actual downtime should be much less if the upgrade goes smoothly. We are aiming for as little as 15 minutes of downtime. Please be advised of this scheduled maintenance window and allow for adequate time to pass before opening up any support tickets during this maintenance window. We thank you in advance for your time and understanding in this matter.

Sincerely, Simkl team

4 days before the opening of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Simkl released a WAP\PDA\iPhone web site for IM History Viewer. The new interface is designed specifically for the needs of mobile devices. That’s why  it contains a minimum amount of graphics and it is extremely easy to view your IM History logs from your phone.

When you visit Simkl.com or History.im, you will be automatically redirected to the lighter version of the site. This version is also available at: wap.history.im, wap.simkl.com, simkl.mobi

What are premium points and how to get them?
Premium points are rewarded for every new active user, who came to us by your recommendation, to be exact: visited a special link that you gave to your friend.

Where can I get this special link?
The URL can be found at http://history.im at the left bottom corner of the screen. Here’s an example of link:

http://im.simkl.com/bonus/9179/

How many premium points can you earn?
For each person who signs up and tests the service, you get 30 points premium. For each person who pays for the service, you get an additional 20% of all his payments, for example: if someone opened your link, tested and paid for his service for a year, you will receive 5000 points (50 days of free service).

What is the price of a premium?
1 day of free service in Simkl History = 100 PR

The easiest way to get premium points - is to send out a link to all your contacts through IM message about this kind of service and persuade to test the service.

But a study by Ohio State University and University of California has found other big work avoidance, instant messaging, can actually increase productivity rather than hinder it.

The report was published in the Journal of Computer Mediated Communication, and involved 912 people who worked at least 30 hours per week.

Results showed those who used IM procrastinated less than those that didn’t. This could have been due to the quickness and shortness of answering questions that IM allows.
