Next-Gen Txt Messaging and Social Media updates

We have just released a new update for FunMail on the Android. Now users can instantly upload a photo from their phone and send it out as a FunMail. Users can send just their picture and their message, or select from a number of fun templates that incorporate their photo.

An update has also been submitted for the iPhone version of FunMail and is pending review.

All companies want to know how to reach their audience. The best way to do this is to figure out where your audience spends most of their time. Social networks are a huge part of people lives. Below is a graph of who is on what site. I think some people will be surprised at where their target audience is.

This week we launched of the new update for FunMail.

FunMail 2.0 offers several substantial improvements over previous versions. FunMails can now be received using iPhone or Android alerts, making sending and receiving MMS messages through FunMail on these devices 100% free. Additionally, the new Instant FunReply feature enables any FunMail to be replied to from any device. This is a major improvement over version 1.0 where consumers had to often click a link to a mobile web page to reply. Finally, FunMail 2.0 supports free texting, enabling consumers to also send free texts if they wish for faster communication.


Key new features:

* Support for iPhone and Android notifications, enabling free, unlimited text and picture messaging from these devices.
* Instant FunReply, enabling any FunMail to be responded to from any device or email account.
* Faster, more responsive UI
* Support for huge address books

FunMail is a next-gen messaging platform which offers the ability to add relevant visual content for any text, tweet or status update. Simply type text as usual and the FunMail platform automatically presents cute, comical or irreverent images that relate to the message. These FunMail messages contain the text, artfully rendered into the image, creating a unique, eye-catching, and fun blend of communication and self-expression.

FunMail is now available for the iPhone, Facebook, and Twitter and coming soon to Android. We’d love for you to check it out and communicate the "FunMail" way!
