MWEB launches Nimbuzz
MWEB has launched a single tool to connect friends who use different Instant Messaging (IM) programs such as Skype, GTalk, MSN, and Yahoo.
MWEB Nimbuzz is a messaging service for use on your PC as well as your cell phone, allowing users to combine all their messaging friends into one screen.
MWEB Nimbuzz IM is free and available to both MWEB and non-MWEB subscribers.
Says Kelly Ledger, new product development manager at MWEB, “If you have MSN buddies, but also make use of Skype, while your other friends prefer connecting on GTalk, this means logging onto different applications. Now, you only need one application, the internationally popular Nimbuzz, and the best bit is you can take it with you on your cell phone.”
“To make use of the Nimbuzz service on your phone, subscribers must have a compatible mobile phone with the appropriate features, such as a connection to the internet via GPRS or 3G. The same applies for your computer – if you have Internet access, you can have Nimbuzz.”
Nimbuzz currently support more than 22 cell phone brands and over 500 models and is used by 6.5 million people around the world.
