Written by itsmy.com   
Wednesday, 09 April 2008

April 9, 2008 (Munich, New York, London, Madrid) – itsmy.com, one of the world’s fastest growing mobile-only social networks, has announced one million registered users.

 

The ad-funded mobile community dedicates every user a free personalisable mobile homepage with a unique mobile web address (myname.itsmy.com) to show and tell all friends – the main reason for the fast viral growth. All users register via the browser of their mobile phone in mobile internet, wherever they are.

Gofresh, the company behind itsmy.com, is a Telecommunications company with main focus on live entertainment combined with social networking - wherever, whenever. Gofresh targets with itsmy.com the leadership for off-portal mobile communities in US and EU in 2008.

itsmy.com identified two usage groups within the community: The active content creators who are uploaders with full profile (registered users) and the downloader-surfers, who watch Mobile TV, download videos and pictures and surf within the community (no registration necessary). The total user number of both groups reached 2.5 million by beginning of Q2/2008.

80% of the mobile phone users are from US and Europe. The leading states in the US are California and Texas, the leading cities Detroit and Cincinnati. The fastest growing countries in Europe are UK, Ireland, Italy and Spain. The users surf more than 300 million mobile internet pages per month. To this day more than 5 Million Videos, Pictures and Wallpapers were created and uploaded. Users built more than 4.5 Million WAP sites like personalized homepages, “about me” pages, group galleries, flirt pages etc.

It’s easy like that: Take your mobile phone, browse to http://mobile.itsmy.com and have fun with old and new friends. itsmy.com is a free service, optimized for more than 3,500 mobile phones and browsers in the mobile internet and needs no application download; standard operator data charges may apply.

Antonio Vince Staybl, CEO Gofresh “We are very happy with the off-deck mobile internet usage in the US and with the fast traffic growth from carriers like Verizon, Sprint and AT&T.”

Sabine Irrgang, COO Gofresh “Our users get 24/7 entertainment with an advanced networking aspect. Everybody can make his personal choice – heavy communication or creation of the coolest personal homepage or uploading favourite videos.“
