GoMo News hates hype. Also it hates new start-ups that offer the world and can’t deliver. After reading several blog posts on Velvet Puffin (new mobile community) we gave it ago.
1. Sign-up was easy online
2. Setting up SMS didn’t work
3. Typing in the URL didn’t work either
4. Still waiting for a second WAP push SMS.
