Our favourite election site so far has been from newsforblondes and Vote Bonnie for President but the trend for mobile services and the US 08 election is gathering steam.
This time Ringtones08.com has teamed up with MyxerTones to offer free ringtones. Users can submit their own tunes that can be uploaded, shared and virally sent around.
It’s a simple fun idea and will produce some fun user generated mobile content.
From the press release
“RingTones08.com lets someone in Utah turn a political gaffe or gem into an original ringtone that someone in Manhattan can broadcast every time their cell phone rings - in the subway, at their office, in the mall,” said Jo Lee, co-conspirator at RingTones08.com. “RingTones08.com leverages the viral quality of digital media to push user-generated content into real world venues.”
“MyxerTones is pleased to power RingTones08.com,” said Myk Willis, founder and CTO of MyxerTones. “Just as MyxerTones has democratized the mobile marketplace, making it possible for anyone to bring their content to mobile phones, RingTones08 is using that power to bring political discourse to the mobile platform.”
“We’ve been obsessed with ringtones ever since we heard about the huge impact political ringtones made in the Philippines in 2004,” said Katrin Verclas, co-conspirator at RingTones08.com. “Activists made a ringtone of a wiretapped recording of the president talking about how she rigged the vote. It wound up being one of the most popular ringtones ever and grabbed headlines worldwide.”
