GeoMe

scottogiuliani — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:23:05 CDT

Geome® will enable anybody to leave a digital post-it note from their mobile phone in a specific location addressing another individual or a community of them.

GeoMe® will create a segmented community with access to relevant content that will unleash the full potential of location-based search and personalised advertising.

Mobile users can leave a message, known as a LMS (Location Messaging Service), at any geographical point. When the recipient reaches the defined point, the message appears on his or her mobile phone display. Unlike the classic SMS, the message is not sent to the addressee as such, but is only activated when the addressee comes within a defined radius of the location specified for the LMS.

Palringo

debjones — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:34:09 CDT

We’ve all become familiar with SMS on mobile phones; we’re also familiar with MMS—multimedia messaging service—which took things a step further. Palringo is a Rich Messaging Service—RMS—and is a step further on again.

In fact, Palringo is the first service to bring together the ability to exchange text, voice messages and pictures. Palringo brings together friends, family and colleagues across all popular instant messaging services, whether they’re sitting at a computer or on the move, whether they’re using a mobile phone or PDA. What this means is that Palringo closes the ‘rich-communications gap’ between messaging applications on desktop hardware (like PCs) and mobile hardware (like mobile handsets), and between those using different IM systems.

Who needs Palringo?

People who’d rather talk than type—even when sending instant messages;
People who want to travel light—but with all their buddies in their pocket;
People who don’t want to pay for SMS/text messaging;
People who have whole lists to whom they want to send text, voice or photos—even while on the move;
People on the go or in the field, where there are more pictures to take, events to describe, and information to share;
People who like their messaging to be fun!

Palringo is the answer to the always-available, always-connected, always-informed lifestyle. It’s the solution to the proliferation of IM tools/services—you have friends on four different services, and that’s too many to keep running at once. Currently, Palringo runs on Windows Mobile, Nokia Symbian S60 3rd Edition, and devices using the J2ME platform, which covers most major brands of devices released during the past three years, including BlackBerry. It also works on PCs running Windows XP and Vista. Mac OS and iPhone versions are in development.

Palringo is compatible with all the major IM services. After registering an e-mail address, users can download the free Palringo software for their phone and PC. (Palringo does not charge for use of the service. Users will only pay their data service provider for any data used.) Visit the Palringo Web site for more information. Palringo also offers messaging solutions for businesses.

Vringo

debjones — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 12:54:24 CDT

Vringo users can take any content from anywhere and turn it into a visual ringtone. Vringo then enables users to share this content during every phone call. Vringo has combined all the aspects of online sharing and community with the central part of the mobile experience—the call. Vringo makes mobile Personalization 2.0 a reality.

The Vringo Experience
Vringo lets users set their own visual or video ringtone and choose the video, avatar, slide show or picture they want their friends to see when they call. Users can choose content from a variety of sources to create their “Vringos.” Users can browse Vringo’s own large collection of premium content licensed from TV, video and music clips. Users can also import content from Vringo partner sites or from almost anywhere on the Web. Users can even create Vringos using their phone’s camera or pull pictures or video from existing social networks. Vringo is the next-generation in mobile personalization.

Vringo is a completely hosted, client-server-based solution, making it easy to use and just as easy to manage. Vringo is the first viral mobile application allowing users to seamlessly join a community, then choose, create and share video ringtones.

There is a version of Vringo available for every mobile phone that has a data connection and an Internet browser. The full Vringo client is available on a large number of Java, Symbian and Windows Mobile handsets. Current versions of Vringo can be found at www.vringo.com

How Does It Work?
• Users register either online or through their mobile device.
• A simple download process puts the software on the user’s mobile phone.
• Users seamlessly invite buddies from their phones’ contact lists.
• Users select or create Vringos on their mobile phones or online.
• When buddied Vringo users call each other, they see one another’s Vringo.

Swirl Connect

iswirl — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 09:52:51 CST

Stay connected while you're on the go

We keep you connected with your friends while you're on the go, and answer the questions: "where are you?" and "what are you doing?" We focus on places and a rich presence.

Whether you're on your PC or your mobile phone, you can pull up your friends' positions on a map, see where they are and where they're going, and what they've been up to recently. You're always connected. You'll even get alerts if your friends update their status, change locations, or contribute photos or notes.

Or find places near you, see who else has visited, see the photos they've posted and the things they've said. You can even create your own places, contribute geotagged photos, and automatically build your activity feed.

So it's a friend finder like Loopt? Sort of. Jaiku? A little. Twitter? Maybe a bit. We're as much like them as they are each other.

Swirl runs on about 200 phones, and we're adding more every day. It's free, of course, and on the road to being open-sourced.

Try it! Stay connected with your friends. Meet new people. Find new places. It's easy and it's fun.

You can view more features, take a tour, or signup today.
