The local social mobile networking monopoly has been enjoyed by mxit for a while now, but this is about to change in no time. Allow me to introduce 2go mobile.
2go is an awesome new mobile chatting application , (like mxit) that has almost everything that every single mobile phone enthusiast needs in a mobile chat application.
For those people that know me well, they will collectively tell you , im a full time mxit admirer , although at the present time, only part-time due to experiments , and discoveries of other technologies such as 2go, (by the way) of which i think is a F-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c application!
2go mobile is currently in it’s V1.1, However , the application is mature enough and currently offers some off-da-hook features which mxit can only dream of.
Impressive is the word to describe it. This new Mobile app is setting itself out to become not only a social mobile network, but also an advertising platform for businesses and hopefully (let’s all keep our fingers crossed) a mobile marketplace which will be a first in South Africa. “Big businesses” are you taking notice?
From the end user’s point of view, 2go works much like mxit . some of the already out there features like chatrooms, are available, but it possesses some VERY unique features.
my personal favourite thus far is the status settings similar to Facebook & twitter, where the user actually sets their own status! , unlike mxit where, a set of buttons (whatever they are called) represents the user’s profile.
Folks at 2go, would you please tweak it to sync with Facebook profile status settings? that would be ultimately cooler.
also, here are some of other UNIQUE features that i found while exploring 2go absolutely fascinating :
- virtually share credits with your friends,
- Star Level : you get rewarded for using 2go services (have you ever been rewarded by the folks @ mxit for using their services? lol),
for more really cool features , check it out here .
The enticing factor = User interface (UI), absolutely magnificent!
The verdict = better or worse than mxit ? (for me) better than mxit considering the fact that it’s just started!
Download 2go on ur mobile phone at wap.2go.co.za and follow the procedures.
