MetroPCS Offers Rabble to Customers Who Can Now Join the Rapidly Expanding and Dynamic Mobile Blogging and Social Networking Community
San Diego, California March 24, 2006 Intercasting Corporation, the creator of the fast-growing mobile blogging community Rabble, today announced the availability of the Rabble service toMetroPCS, a regional pay in advance wireless service provider with subscribers in San Francisco, Sacramento, Tampa, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale and Atlanta. Rabble is the first location-aware mobile blogging and social networking application that allows users to create and share media using their mobile phones.
Rabble transforms the average cell phone into a communication command center with full blogging and networking capabilities. MetroPCS customers with select phones can use the service to create and distribute their own media, which can include text, photos, opinions, information about events or local hot-spots. MetroPCS customers are invited to use Rabble to create and publish content on their phones and become a part of the rapidly growing Rabble mobile community, which now reaches more than 100 million consumers nationwide.
The mobile phone has transformed into a multi-media content creation device, and the Rabble community is a forum for people to express themselves using these new capabilities, said Shawn Conahan, Founder and CEO of Intercasting Corporation. We love that MetroPCS is offering Rabble to their subscribers so we can both leverage the growing popularity of blogging and social networking in the mobile space.
After MetroPCS customers have signed up for Rabble, they can create their own channel that can include any personal content they choose. Users can blog about their thoughts and feelings in any interest area -- ranging from music, books and food to film, shopping and travel destinations. Users also move beyond text by posting pictures to share with the Rabble community. MetroPCS Rabble users are also tapped into the online world, as they can use the service to update Internet blogs on many popular online blogging services, right from their phones.
The application supports both BREW and J2METM platforms. Members of the Rabble community protect their privacy by creating user-set rules, which govern who can access their personal information.
