Frengo Connects Users Across MySpace, Facebook, hi5, Orkut and Bebo Social Networks

Frengo, the leading provider of social mobile services, today announced
the availability of a suite of applications that run on top of and
across Facebook, MySpace, hi5, Orkut and Bebo. Frengo focuses on social
applications that are fun, engaging, entertaining and available anytime
and anywhere – from a Web enabled PC or mobile
phone. These applications not only allow users to interact with friends
and friends-of-friends, but more importantly help establish new
connections by discovering others across social networks who share
common interests.

FLIRTABLE, the most-used mobile application on Facebook and a top 20
application overall, boasts four million members who use the social
browsing and dating application globally. This application allows
participants to surf profile pictures, send and receive private messages
and virtual gifts and make introductions to friends. This is one of the
first applications to interoperate amongst leading social networks. In
addition to Facebook, FLIRTABLE is now available on MySpace, hi5, Orkut
and Bebo. FLIRTABLE users can now interact with other users distributed
across those networks. For example, a MySpace user can interact with
other MySpace users as well as users of Facebook, hi5 and Bebo.
Furthermore, FLIRTABLE MOBILE provides access to all of the above
features from any Web enabled mobile phone.

“We are excited to unlock the potential of
interaction across more than 200 million people on these social
networks. This is reminiscent of text messaging ten years ago, when you
could only message people on your network. The traffic was very small,
but when the carriers established interoperability across these networks –
the traffic and utility of texting exploded,”
said Mahi de Silva, Frengo CEO. “Applications
like FLIRTABLE have already found great traction within individual
social networks but we are really jazzed about leading the charge to get
users across these networks to connect with one another. We think it
adds a whole new layer of vitality to social networks and raises the bar
for other developers in this space.”

Another application called LOLz, a collaboration between Frengo and I
Can Has Cheezburger? (http://www.icanhascheezburger.com)
is also now available on MySpace, Facebook, hi5 and will be on Orkut
later this month. It is a unique application that represents the utility
that can rise as user-generated content, social media and mobile
technology converge. Centered around user-submitted images and captions,
this application brings the humor of “LOLCats”
to social networks – making it easier to
upload content, caption or re-caption popular images, and share with
friends as a quick way to participate in a community of users who share
a quirky sense of humor. LOLz can also be easily accessed from a mobile
phone and includes features that allow users to easily upload and
caption pictures from a camera enabled mobile phone.

In addition to I Can Has Cheezburger?, Frengo powers the mobile services
for popular applications from top social networking developers including
Slide, RockYou and Frozen Bear.
