Blist Goes Global

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - April 21, 2008) - Blist (www.blist.com), the world's easiest database, today announced that the company is going global to meet the growing demand for its free social databases worldwide. With new support for international characters such as accent marks in French or non-English letters in Norwegian as well as non-Roman languages such as Japanese Kanji or Hindi, and even non-alphabetic languages such as Mandarin Chinese, Blist can now make its online social database available anywhere across the globe to help mainstream users create and maintain a fully featured relational database. Driving the cloud-based database model to new heights, Blist also announced new group- and community-based collaboration capabilities as well as video tutorials to help everyday users embrace a growing trend of moving data onto the Web and off personal computers.

"With each new release, Blist gets one step closer to liberating people, and data, from the shackles of desktop spreadsheets and SQL databases and democratizing data through intuitive and social cloud-based computing."
