Mobshare MMS2.0 Application

It’s indeed a great joy to introduce the Mobshare Application for your Symbian mobile phones. We have been working on this one for the past couple of months. If you have a symbian series 60 handset, you will be able to install &  use this application.

The application is extremely easy to use & does away with the need to MMS photos to me@mobshare.in. Instead, the photos get uploaded via GPRS thus saving the MMS cost. Every time you click a photo or video on your mobile, there will appear a prompt that would ask you if you want to share it on mobshare.

Adding friends to your broadcast list is made easier. You can directly select your friends from your phone book (contacts), so now you don’t have to type in their mobile numbers or try remembering them!

You can also upload the photos & videos which are already there in your gallery (memory) & the application also shows you the preview of the content.

Once you select the photo/video to be uploaded, you can enter a caption. If you don’t enter anything, the default caption would be the time-stamp.

If you have a twitter, tumblr or flickr account, you can tie-in that as well, so that your photos/photo url gets posted everywhere automatically.

Download the Mobshare application from www.mms2.in

Mobshare’s MMS2 application was built on the Mobitop platform developed by Mobisy.

The list of supported handsets are available here.

More info about the application with screenshots available here.

If you are a Vodafone user, point your Mobile WAP Browser to http://live.vodafone.in (which is your default homepage, so pressing ‘0′ for a couple of seconds on your Nokia handset or the ‘i’nternet key if you are using some other handset, should get you to the same place) Once you get to the Vodafone Live Home Page, you can click on the ‘Email’ link on the top tab to be taken to the page where it lists Social Networks, Email Apps, IMs etc & now Mobshare too! Happy Mobsharing…

Though the normal rates on Airtel is Rs 5/MMS, 55563 would be charged just Rs 3/MMS & it is exclusive to Mobshare.

Happy Mobsharing Airtel users… Send in those cool pics & vids.

BTW, if you didn’t notice, ‘63‘ stands for ‘me‘ on the number pad!

Looking back, things have been great. We have grown from a college start-up to a company with 30 employees, a Marketing Office & a Development Center in Cochin and Biz Dev Centers in Mumbai & Gurgaon. Every single day out of the past two years have been exciting & challenging. It’s been a wonderful learning experience and we were successful in creating many profit centers within the company. SMSC Solutions, IVR (In-bound & Out-bound) Services, Online Bulk SMS (www.FastAlerts.in & www.BuyBulkSMS.com) have all grown into steady businesses.

And the 2nd anniversary week was special in more ways than one.

We got featured in the 2008 NASSCOM 100 Innovators list & have also been short listed among the finalists for the award in the start-up category. We were fortunate enough to be listed in NASSCOM’s 2007 list too but this time its much more special as we have been selected for the final presentation at Pune along with 5 other start-ups. Really looking forward to this event on the 23rd of this month. Sanjay & Vivek would be presenting mobME.

The other great news came in the form of an agreement from Vodafone for going on board their network as a peer2peer photo sharing partner. This happens to be the first among several other partnerships being forged between other leading Mobile Operators in the country. Almost half the team is working on this product & we are gonna rock 2009 with this!

We had thought of having some good getaway for the entire team but that didn’t happen cos Sanjay & Vishnu were stuck in Delhi & Vivek was busy in Mumbai. I just managed to get back to Cochin couple of days before the anniversary after a month long stint at Mumbai. So the celebration had to be limited to cakes for the time being!

When you upload a photo or a video, unlike the caption field, it is not mandatory that you type-in something in the tags field. But it would be wonderfully great if you tag each photos sensibly. That few seconds you spend on tagging makes the whole place much more beautiful. When everyone does that, you will be able to navigate easily into all related content, the search function becomes much more powerful thus helping you dig out the stuff you want & the whole place becomes seamlessly connected. It even helps ad Engines serve better contextual advertisements!

In short, i would say its as important as a caption & please do make it a point to fill them up.
