FierceMobileContent Presents Yospace with Top App Award
CTIA - Los Angeles - Sept. 13, 2006
Yospace has announced it has been honoured with FierceMobileContent's Top App Award for its work on 3's SeeMeTV user generated content service. This distinction honours Yospace as powering one of the best wireless applications for 2006. FierceMobileContent is an internationally recognised email newsletter for the wireless industry, providing more than 14,000 executives with a daily briefing on the industry's top applications, stories and analysis.
"Yospace's video gallery uses cash to entice 3's subscribers to send in videos captured with their mobile phones," said Brian Dolan, editor at FierceMobileContent. "But 3 also wins big: The carrier says its service brought in more than $2 million in data revenues last quarter."
The award winning mobile innovator has been running for seven years, and initially developed a range of in-house products and services ranging from WAP emulators to its mobile community platform (MCP) - one of the world's first fully featured media libraries and applications platforms designed for MMS community-building applications. The company is now enabling global operators and media brands to create their own User Generated Content (UGC) services, which complement the current boom in social networking. Existing UGC customers include 3, O2, Vodafone and EMAP, with an exciting range of additional services launching in the 4th quarter of 2006. "We are honored to be a charter winner of the FierceMobileContent Top App Awards," said David Springall, CTO at Yospace. "The industry is rapidly moving toward mobile content, and sources such as FierceMobileContent make it easier to keep track of daily changes in our industry."
The FierceMobileContent Top App awards represent best practices by established and time-tested players in the wireless content industry that are making inroads in offering mobile content to users around the world. The complete list of winning companies is available in today's issue of FierceMobileContent and on the FierceMobileContent Web site at http://www.fiercemobilecontent.com.
