Wednesday, August 27, 2008
The third largest virtual social network worldwide and first in Portugal will become available from TMN mobile phones. Customers of PT’s mobile operator will be able to access their hi5 page via tmn i9 or internetnotelemóvel features. New Hi5Mobile service will allow finding and adding friends, photo sharing and posting profile comments from a mobile phone
The site most visited by the Portuguese during 2007 will become available via a mobile
phone. hi5 is considered the third largest virtual social network worldwide and first in Portugal, and gathers millions of users. Created by North American businessman Ramu Yalamanchi at the beginning of 2004, the hi5 virtual community is characterised by a system of groups, forming a network through the adherence of other new groups, with the most diversified styles and profiles.
After its success on the Internet, this site will become available on mobile phones. The worldwide launch of site m.hi5.com will be ensured by TMN via tmn i9 and internetnotelemóvel services. This service from the biggest mobile operator is called Hi5 Mobile and allows, just like with a PC, finding and adding friends, photo sharing with other users and posting comments on the profile of the virtual community that you are connected to.
As the result of a partnership between TMN and hi5, customers will soon start receiving notifications, on their mobile phones as well, of some actions executed on their own hi5 page. This is yet another advantage for TMN customers in the scope of this launch.
TMN customers registered on hi5 will be able to visit their homepage, to invite and accept invitations from friends, to socialize with every contact to which they are connected on the site, to share photos and post comments on other users’ profiles via the Hi5 Mobile access. With Hi5 Mobile, it will become possible to access hi5 wherever you are, from your mobile phone.
Advertising on the mobile site will be ensured by SAPO which has been a hi5 partner in the sale of advertising space on the Internet site, in the last two years.
With this launch, TMN is once again positioned at the frontline, at international level, opening the path for its customers to be among the first worldwide to pioneer the capacity of exploring new mobile communication services, thus being able to live new experiences.
