moblf – it’s evolving

Filed under:Blogs, Enterprise, moblf — posted by nandini on May 13, 2008 @ 7:04 pm

We’ve been in a mull-mode, here at moblf; working towards a few next things, shaping up our long-term goals, so on. This for me is the innate characteristic of a startup, that one will not find elsewhere – the whole experience of evolving the product or business offering, tweaking the main idea, changing it based on user and industry inputs. I am living what Paul Graham has articulated here.

What’s the relevance of moblf to the end user, to the world of communication and to web services – this is something that has occupied a great part of our mindshare here. Moblf is a platform that brings web services on mobile, specifically over SMS text messaging. With this as the premise the opportunity is vast and the possibilities immense. Who we will cater to first, what will we offer initially, what’s a good start – these are questions we’ve been trying to answer and have found some ground too. As a platform we have the opportunity to serve consumers and prosumers simultaneously, we can serve as brand moblf and also as a customized white label enterprise solution. More on relevance of moblf in my next post!

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!

Harish, the mobile geek, head’s moblf tech army, only that he’s currently a one-man army! He will contribute to this blog on business and technology related topics.

Sameer, our Advisor and a mad/passionate entrepreneur, is another regular guest writer for this blog. He will blog on topics related to the business, the eco-system in which moblf is founded.

Nandini, yours truly, with expertise in the product and the flag-bearer of moblf; I will blog about moblf – the product; what’s happening in this domain, our competition, why we are the best and much more!

A few posts to look forward to:

  • Release announcement of the first app for ‘moblf Platform’ – a FriendFeed app!.
  • Enterprise 2.0 – What role will platforms like moblf play to change the game.
  • Guest Post by Ravi Jitani on: Potential impact of mobile/SMS text message apps on upcoming economies of East Africa

As the fervor begins at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, stay tuned to the moblf blog, for more on our progress and more information on this space!
