Colibria extends IM portfolio with Mobile IM client that links to an online photo album.
From the press relsease:
Colibria’s IM-photoblog allows users to send photos or text from their Mobile IM client to an online photo album. This content can be viewed via the mobile browser or the web and visitors can leave comments. By automatically adding a ‘MyBlog’ option to the subscriber’s address book, new postings can be made at any time to create a true multimedia mobile MIM experience. The IM-photoblog application is already on trial with Colibria’s operator customers.
Matt Hooper, EVP Marketing of Colibria commented: “The enhanced presence based immediacy and group communication functionality offered by mobile IM provides the next evolutionary step for the mobile messaging market. This is evidenced by Colibria’s 400% growth in 2006 with 17 new operator customers established.
What we think?
Matt Hooper has left Qualcomm to give Colibria an edge in the IM market. GoMo News loves IM and photos are the key service that connects people. Presence features are essential on mobile and growth in the IM space is set to rocket (The Mobile IM market is predicted to be worth around $16bn by 2011, according to VisionGain). The only fly in the ointment is the need for users to uptake the new service and release its potential.
