Hi5 Goes Mobile with Vodafone Live!
The
hi5 social network reveals that it’s partnering with Vodafone Espana to
offer its services on mobile devices through Vodafone live! With hi5
Mobile, Vodafone live! users in Spain can send and receive messages,
browse their friends' profiles, share photos, see who's online, and add
new friends. They’ll be able to access hi5 in the Vodafone live! community
section that is dedicated to the individual users. The hi5 mobile service
is free for Vodafone live! customers.
Hi5
informs that the networking site is now available for cell phones in 33
different languages. The languages include not just Spanish, but Catalan
as well. In addition, thanks to the new translations tool available to hi5
users, the translation into Galician is being completed and more languages
will be added before the year's end.
"With
this partnering agreement, we continue to be leaders in terms of mobile
Internet integration, giving our customers the possibility of staying in
contact with their friends just as they do on a computer," says Javier
Gascon, in charge of Mobile Internet of Vodafone Espana. "By launching
hi5, we're offering the market the advantage of mobility and we are
certain that this new service will be met with great acceptance."
Now, hi5
will target users in Spain who prefer to use their cell phones instead of
a computer to communicate. This service now enables users to access hi5 in
Spanish.
“As the
number of users who access hi5 via a cell phone increases, so will the
opportunity to carry out localization-based advertising campaigns," hopes
Ramu Yalamanchi, CEO of hi5.
