We stumbled across Wibiya, a cool Israeli start-up offering a social toolbar the other day and liked the concept so much we decided to test it with Reimage’s website. For the next few days we have embedded Wibiya’s social toolbar in our site and we want to know how you feel about it. Based on how you interact with it we will see if you think this is a valuable tool to Reimage users. So go ahead, don’t be shy.
As such, we would like to extend our gratitude to our customer’s support in helping us develop and maintain the Reimage product and develop it over time.
Being a front-runner is always fun, especially in such an esteemed event such as The co.il’s Web Startup competition. We have had the good fortune to pitch Reimage (going first in a ten start-up round – a position won by a panel of judges vote). Here is the video of the pitch given by Zak Dechovich, our CEO… (it’s very good and has a small surprise by the end of it on future Reimage plans).
Time has finally ran out for Windows XP owners with Microsoft replacing free support of the operating system with a paid one. Users with a dysfunctional XP system will have to pay per incident, per the hour. This makes this manual repair process an expensive ordeal, while up until now it has been merely a cumbersome one.
Windows XP Support(ed)!
Happily, Reimage is still here to help with our state of the art automated PC repair technology and PC booster.
Reimage.com automatically reinstalls an operating system and does not touch user data or applications, the repair takes an average of 22 minutes. You will never have to reinstall your XP again.

The Rubik’s cube is said to be the world’s best-selling toy, with over 300,000,000 units sold worldwide, to date.
Rubik’s Cube: solved in 6.57 seconds
The world record in solving the Cube is 7.08 seconds by “speed-cubing” ace Erik Akkersdijk of the Netherlands.There are 43 quintillion ways of configuring the Cube (43,252,003,274,489,856,000 to be precise), but only one solution.
How to solve a Rubik’s Cube
Two years ago, during Reimage early days, the product team was stuck spending countless hours trying to find that perfect visualization that will best answer the common question of “What Reimage does, and how”.
We realized that coming up with a revolutionary technology is one big achievement but explaining it is another challenge we must meet.
So we presented a single question, asking: “what do you have in mind when you think of your Windows PC performance”. We asked this question to numerous people: PC technicians, home users (family members…), employees in other departments and the web itself (Google world of associations….). Well, one answer was so visual that we decided to instantly adopt it:
“Windows is like Rubik’s cube. When you first get it – it starts off all shiny and working. But soon enough things evidently change… and you can no longer bring it back to its original condition… “.
Well, most of us cannot bring it back to its original condition. And that’s when most people usually call a PC technician. Since then – the 3×3 cube became our brand identity.
Brand identity is how a Company wants the consumer to perceive the company’s brand. In our case it is simple – bring your PC back to its shiny, working, condition.
One goal in brand recognition is to align the brand image (the way consumer sees us) with the brand identity (the way we want consumer to see us). And this is one major task all of us here at Reimage are fully devoted to.
Working in a start-up company is great fun. We work long hours, have a lot of fun, and strive to provide (and continue to provide) a great product that makes a difference in the PC repair world. To top it up, one of our investors, First Round Capital, compiled a very cool video of companies they invest in dancing across the world. It was lots of fun, leaving our desks and going out for a little dance.
So, if you were ever curious to see the Reimage team, this is your chance:
