AT&T
Provides New Social Connection
When
everythin’ on earth is going the social way, then why not? AT&T now
offers Social Net, a free mobile
social networking application that
combines access to
Facebook,
MySpace,
Twitter, and customizable news
feeds within a single application. The application is available for free
download.
Through
a single carousel menu, says AT&T, users can view and manage their
social communities, communicate and track events in real time, and get
live news feeds from over 35 leading news, sports, and entertainment
sites.
Once a
user populates the application with information, they can see and
respond to tweets, status updates, wall posts, profile comments, photo
activity, and friends' news feeds across their communities. Users can
also access new or unread articles from their customized content feeds.
"Five
of the top 10 searches on our mobile Web portal are for social
networking sites, a clear indication of the growing popularity of mobile
social networking," said Mark Collins, vice president of voice and data
products, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "With this app, we're
satisfying the increasing demand for aggregation apps that make it easy
for customers to be active in multiple communities simultaneously."
With
the application, users can even be notified that they have updates on
their social networking accounts when the AT&T Social Net application is
closed. When certain actions like comments from a friend, new wall
posts, or photo updates occur, users will receive a pop-up notification
with an option to launch the application and check their updates.
Users
who wish to disable this notification feature can do so in the
application's settings menu.
Customers can download AT&T Social Net at no cost in the AT&T MEdia
Mall, accessible from handsets and online at www.att.com/mediamall.
Standard data and messaging rates apply during use of the application.
AT&T
Social Net is supported by about 20 AT&T handsets. AT&T customers can
check to see if their devices are compatible by accessing www.att.com/socialnetdevices.
