Leading Mobile Social Messenger Offers Mobile 2.0 Users More
Innovative Ways to Stay on the Cutting Edge of Messaging
SAN MATEO, Calif.–(EMWNews)–Bluepulse, the award-winning free mobile social messenger, today
unveiled an iPhone application available now through Apple’s
iTunes App Store. The application provides the iPhone’s
estimated 5.4 million users with an enhanced Bluepulse experience that
takes full advantage of the iPhone operating system. This first release
of the Bluepulse iPhone App features seamless integration of the
Bluepulse friends list with the iPhone address book and easy photo
uploading. The company plans to roll out more features, including
location awareness, in the upcoming weeks.
With the goal of providing the best messaging experience for its global
user base, Bluepulse is also announcing a new feature which enables its
users to have their Bluepulse status updates automatically appear in
real time on Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service. These
innovations build upon Bluepulse’s current
offering, which allows users to send peer-to-peer and group messages,
update their status and capture what they’re
doing with photos and videos they can share with their friends
immediately – wherever they are and whenever
they want.
“We are excited about providing a Bluepulse application for the iPhone
and giving iPhone users the experience they have come to expect. This
application allows us to integrate iPhone-specific features into our
mobile Web site, without compromising our current mobile browser-based
application that works on any Internet-enabled handset,” said Ben
Keighran, founder and CEO of Bluepulse. “Apple changed the game by
making the Internet core mobile phone functionality and now 85 percent
of its users access the Mobile Web. Given that Bluepulse is a
browser-based app, we are incredibly excited to see iPhone users
accessing the Mobile Web in such numbers and want to make sure iPhone
users have the best Bluepulse experience possible.”
Bluepulse has reinvented mobile messaging by giving mobile users a way
to broadcast their lives to friends with text, photos and videos.
Bluepulse enables users to keep in touch with and build out their
trusted network of friends from the one device they always have with
them. With its new iPhone App, Bluepulse is introducing two new
features, contacts integration and media upload. The contacts
integration feature automatically syncs users’ iPhone address book
contacts into Bluepulse and vice versa, providing a simple way to access
all contacts and send a message through both the iPhone and Bluepulse.
With the media upload feature, it now takes just a couple of thumb
strokes for iPhone users to take a photo and upload to Bluepulse
immediately or simply choose a photo from their iPhone image gallery and
upload. Bluepulse is available for free in the Social Networking
category of Apple’s iTunes store.
Bluepulse is now connecting its users to Twitter, allowing users to have
their Bluepulse status updates automatically appear on both Twitter and
Bluepulse in real time. This is a big time saver for users who maintain
both Twitter and Bluepulse accounts. Users simply enter their Twitter
login and password in their Bluepulse settings and then every one of
their Bluepulse status updates will immediately write to their Twitter
account.
Bluepulse continues to grow very quickly, with users in more than 190
countries. Bluepulse is continuing to invest in its business and enhance
its technology, and remains the world’s
fastest growing mobile social messenger. To get Bluepulse, type “bluepulse.com”
into the mobile browser on your iPhone or any Internet-enabled phone.
New users can immediately message or invite friends to join by entering
in their email addresses, phone numbers or by accessing their address
books from other webmail applications, and share media with other
Bluepulse users.
