moblf Blog

It’s official now! We have just released our FIRST application – this brings FriendFeed to SMS text message. Moblf becomes one of the first companies to launch an application using the FriendFeed API and perhaps the first to have an app on the mobile!

Using this application, you can do the following on SMS text message:

• Post direct messages onto FriendFeed
• Get updates from people they are following on FriendFeed
• Get updates for a particular user they are interested in

Currently, this app works via Twitter, so you’ll need a Twitter account to use it.

We have released the application on closed beta, click here to get a Promotion Code and start using moblf.

Join, play with it and let us know your feedback by way of your comments.

Hey All,

Welcome to the world of 140 characters – this is what it takes us to connect you to your favorite web services from your mobile phones. Yeah, over SMS text messages!

moblf brings ‘web to SMS text messaging’; the idea is to enable access to your favorite web services anytime, anywhere from your mobiles.

We (moblf team) live by the rule that every idea should be shared with a hundred people and when the idea is executed, the process of evolution should be shared with a thousand people or more.

And therefore, this blog:

• To keep you guys posted on what we’ve been up to and get feedback from you.
• To discuss what’s happening in the area of web2.0, mobile2.0, enterprise 2.0 and the upcoming 3.0 versions.
• To get ideas and indicators from you on what we can do that falls under moblf’s purview.
• This will also serve as a personal diary for moblf, for us to trace back our steps on what we did when!
