BuzzCity
Opens Up More Markets with Mobile Social Networking
myGamma's continued expansion captures award at GSMA event in Macau
14th November 2007, Singapore -
BuzzCity, a developer of global wireless communities and consumer services,
today announced deployment of their mobile social networking service, myGamma,
in Denmark and the Netherlands. With this launch, the service is available
in 20 countries in Western and Eastern Europe.
The expansion of myGamma coverage comes in the wake of 'Asia
Mobile Awards 2007' in Macau where myGamma was voted “Best Mobile Social Networking
Service” by the GSMA, the global trade association for mobile operators.
"We’ve focussed our attention on a unique set of users, the unwired,
for whom the mobile internet is more than just a source of information
but a personal channel of expression. Launching myGamma in new communities
not only adds value to our members but also to our advertisers." said
Lai Kok Fung, CEO of BuzzCity. The unwired are typically the emerging
middle classes in developing countries, blue-collar workers in developed
countries and form the core of myGamma membership.
These additions to BuzzCity's European offering are part of its continuing
efforts to expand myGamma's global community and diversify advertising
opportunities for advertisers. Since January 2007, BuzzCity's advertising
services has delivered more than 5 billion advertising pageviews and
more than 125 million clicks for 3,000+ advertiser campaigns.
BuzzCity's continued monetisation of WAP traffic has earned it a place
on the shortlist of Red Herring's Global 100, selected from top companies
from Europe North America, and Asia.
