New feature adds photo sharing, social networking and realtime chatBARCELONA, Spain--(
BUSINESS WIRE)--24access Solutions, creators of Wauw! the free mobile entertainment community, today added new features to the service. The myPhoto Widget now creates a direct link from camera-phone to Facebook and Yahoo! Widgets, and enables realtime chat on the move. There is no software client needed on the phone, it is all done via the mobile Internet.
“This new feature makes great use of the high-quality camera-phones and creates a direct link from phone to the desktop for images and chat.” said Marco Menato, CEO of 24access Solutions. “When a group of friends start using the Wauw! Widget it quickly becomes a competition to see who can post the best pictures, or the funniest comments.”
Mobile phones are now sporting high-quality, multi-megapixel cameras, but the pictures are hard to share. The resulting images are too big for MMS, and email is too fiddly and slow to capture the excitement as it happens. Users would like to show pictures of a night on the town, while they are still out on the town, not when they find the time to plug their phone into their PC.
Using Wauw! and the myPhoto Widget, users can share the photo fun with instant gratification. Snap a picture of your Friday night antics, and you can distribute the image to friends immediately, without waiting until you sync your phone on Sunday night. Then friends can comment on the image and chat in realtime using the Widget or Facebook app.
Wauw! users can now share their custom Yahoo! Widget, or Facebook page with friends and family. People can have unlimited friends subscribed to the myPhoto Widget, and users can have multiple widgets, one for each friend. When a group of friends connect in this way it becomes Widget based social network where everybody can see images and chat in realtime. This works regardless of whether they are at a computer, or on mobile phones.
