Mobile social network application enters India
A social networking software application developed on Java for mobile phones has been launched in India by Blue Lion mobile GmbH, based in Cologne, Germany. The company’s product, called ‘qeep’ can be downloaded free and installed on mobile phones so that users can stay in contact with their friends in India and around the world at any time – much like the many instant messaging systems already available on PCs. The qeep application includes private messaging, photo-blogging, live multi-player gaming and sound attacks.
The two founders and developers of qeep, Mr. Cornelius Rost and Mr. Christian Schulte, said, “We are very happy to officially start our services in India. Already, India contributes to 20 percent of the 300,000 members in qeep. We are confident that in the next three months the percentage will rise significantly. The whole essence of qeep is to build a global community of like-minded people who can be in touch 24 x 7. It's an international community that has no barriers and borders. Currently there are people from 160 countries and over 3,000 people joining everyday worldwide.”
“qeep enables people to communicate with friends when commuting to and from work, in short breaks and during waiting and travel periods in the bus or local train. One can easily be in contact with his/her friends by writing private messages or indulge in playing a live-game or even make new acquaintances 24 x 7. The use of qeep might endure only for a few minutes, which is enough to read and answer new messages or look at a friend’s new photos. Hundreds of people are always online with their mobiles and are inviting each other to live games, photo blogging and sound attacks – all for free” they added.
On the application, finding people with similar interests like music, gaming, movies, books, art or fashion is easy, as users give a short summary of their interests on their profiles. Users can send invites to people they want to be friends with or can just ‘nudge’ them or send a QMS. Not the usual SMS, the QMS is new and unlimited; it’s simple to use and is free of charge. Thus, qeep gives users the opportunity to make new friends all around the world and connect for free with them.
qeep can be downloaded free of cost (click here) or via the WAP portal and installed on mobile phones and smart phones. Users can join the qeep community by following a simple registration process, which is also free of cost, and they need to install and run the application on their mobile devices and log-in into the qeep network.
