Vipera launches mobile social network

vipera mobile social networking

Vipera consists of a mobile & full size website together with a java based application. Install the application on to your handset and you can engage in micro-blogging and instant messaging with friends.

Additional features:

– dynamic multi-language, incl. Arabic and Asian languages
– user ratings, commenting, discussions
– elegant combination of browser-like navigation with benefits of a rich client (Java MIDP)
– presence tracking and peer-to-peer instant messaging
– support of full multimedia content (text, pictures, audio, video clips)
– intelligent download and caching of multimedia content.

You can check out Vipera by visiting http://wap.vipera.com/get on your handset’s browser then, all things being equal, click on Install.

Through the Vipera application, mobile users connect to the Vipera thematic channels (World, Music, Sports, Travel, Mylife, Misc), where users can create own blogs and post multimedia content. Blogs are open to contributions by any other user or only by “friends”. Users can also create private blogs that are visible only to the creator itself.

Users can browse and search through all public Vipera content, rate or comment what other users have published, search users who are currently online, make friends and exchange instant messages.

All public content created with the Vipera mobile application is instantly published to the vipera.com web site and mobile site, to be seen on PCs and phones all over the world.

Vipera also features presence features (who of my friends is online/offline?), buddy lists and powerful instant messaging features, allowing users to communicate more effectively and at lower cost than SMS or MMS.

Vipera has been tested on more than 300 mobile networks worldwide and on more than 500 different handset models, inlcuding most phone models from Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, and LG.

Neat. I’ve seen a screenshot of it and I’ll need to give it a go shortly.

  1. Vipera is nice because some of the discussed topics are quite controversial. The way they integrate blogging, presence and user opinions works very nicely also on small screens.
