Facebook Applications

Who has never felt the frustration to see a cool video alone on a web site and unable to physically share the fun with friends? TMS offers you now a user friendly way to save it on your mobile and share it at anytime and anywhere with your friends.

MobiTMS launched Friday in Facebook (and other Social Networks) a suite of applications to link web desktop direct to mobile and to develop awareness of 2D barcodes and TMS services.

The first application "TMS Search" allows the preview of the mobile landing page associated to a TMS Code and 2D barcode and to send the link directly to a mobile phone. The service also offers users the ability to create their own TMS code and 2D barcode associated to a “mobilized” content or to reference an existing 2D barcode in TMS Search to increase its audience. In complement the service offers access to a feed of codes to get a direct mobile access to goods such as popular videos.

2D barcodes + Internet Mobile Payment + Social Networks = TMS PayWorld

TMS Republic will launch next week its Mobile Payment solution.

“TMS PayWorld” is a multi device payment solution which associates Social Network model to a Mobile Wallet and 2D barcodes technology. The solution is “open” (Telco’s independent) and can be used by all mobile subscribers anywhere anytime via GRPS, EDGE, 3G or WIFI networks.

MobiTMS; after the launching, a few weeks ago, of the Mobile Search Engine of 2D barcodes, which opens up the 2D barcode technology access to all the mobile Internet users without the need to download a reader application on mobile phones. MobiTMS announces today the launching in the Philippines (world capital of SMS and Mobile goods purchases) of a mobile payment solution, Telco’s independent, which associates a real time billing platform to a 2D barcodes solution to launch transactions and an account management platform accessible on mobile phones and/or social networks web pages via a widget developed with the Open Social platform.

This TMS payment solution allow TMS accountholders to launch a transaction on multi support (Print, Web or directly in a store) just using a TMS code or 2D barcode associated to a transaction web page accessible via connected devices (computer, mobile phone…). The user can purchases mobiles goods and download them in the same sequence (MobiTMS will offer access to a catalogue of more than 90,000 mobile goods including games). The solution also allows the user to pay for web services or virtual goods and to create a friends network to transfer and receive money.

“TMS PayWorld is based on the following principles: Invitations, Widgets, Friends networks, Purchases Cash back and Recommendations” said Frederick Saurat MobiTMS co-founder. “For the launching in the Philippines (to be followed by the US in January 08) TMS will offer invitations to open a TMS PW (PayWorld) account with money already in the account for the purchase of goods. The invitation will be offered via local media partners for example: MTV, Yehey, Print magazines, Social Networks… after that TMS accountholders can start to create his own network inviting friends to open a TMS account and during the first year he will share the invited friends cash back program based on the friends’ purchases”.

“The Cash back program and the recommendation system which allows a member who makes a purchase using the TMS PW solution to recommend his purchase automatically to his friend’s network (he just needs to click on the recommendation confirm button during the mobile purchase operation) represents a real motivation for the user to develop their friends network” added David Jacka, co-founder of MobiTMS. “It’s also the first payment platform built for multi device access and developed on Social Network principles”.

10 Micro-Blogging Tools Compared

I read this on the "read / write web blog" I agree on the conclusion of this post by A.Henry
"Micro-blogging isn't a short-term trend - it is here to stay. The evolution of blogging has spawned this new mini version of blogging and many are latching on. The simplicity and ability to post frequently are what attract most to the concept. We expect much faster adoption and mainstream penetration than blogging in general."

the post

Twitter is th key player in space and the company name is used synonymously with micro-blogging. The free service allows users to post status updates via SMS, e-mail, or web browser. What's more, Twitter has an open platform eallowing third party developers to build on top of it

TMS as already developed a mobile version or Twitter let user access to it on his mobile, post and send direct messages to friends (means free SMS all over the world) we will come back on this ASAP in a post.

Pownce recently launched a micro-blogging platform with added functionality. On top of messaging, users can quickly and easily share links, files, or events with any or all of his/her contacts.

Jaiku is considered by many to be Twitter's closest competitor. Most features and functions are similar. It will be interesting to see how the company plans to emerge from the shadow of its main rival.

MySay is what it says. Instead of text updates, users call MySay and say how they are doing today. Then, friends or family can listen via phone, e-mail, or the web.

Hictu is a service for video microbloggers. A webcam and a mouse-click are all that is needed to create a videopost. This streamlined solution saves time and effort for traditional vloggers.

Moodmill is a way to express your mood or current state of being. A sliding scale facilitates this process, while a quick text update completes the personalized service.

Frazr is also very similar to Twitter. The main difference is one of language. Frazr is focused primarily on the French and German markets.

IRateMyDay allows you the ability to (yes, you guessed it) rate your day on a scale of 'Worst' to 'Great'. Users can also provide a short text update to accompany the rating.

Emotionr is a way to gauge your happiness on a scale of 1-10 (decimals included). As the name touts, it is a way to express and share your emotions and feelings with those around you.

Lebron James with a TMS barcode, What more?

Nike in “Mobile 2.0” Campaign with TMS

NIKE Asia launches in Phil the first “Mobile 2.0” Ads campaign in ASIA using TMS, the suite of Internet Mobile Services. For the first step of this campaign 4 NBA stars (Lebron James, Kidd, Pierce, Soudemare) are associated to a TMS barcodes linked to mobile goods to download.

The campaign looks very good! Big (8 x 11 feet) outdoor billboards and posters in NIKE stores. They also inserted a poster in FHM, one of the most popular magazine in Phil.

My son is really crazy about NBA (like me) and when I told him that NIKE launched a campaign with the TMS barcodes associated to Lebron and Kidds and I saw his eyes I understood the deep mean of the Andy Warhol concept "15 of minutes fame"... for my son I'm now a hero but we have a new bet: associate a TMS barcode to Ronaldinho ;-)

NIKE please help me!
