New Service Launches, Combines the Best of Craigslist and YouTube on Your Phone
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Sept. 4, 2007--IQzone Inc.,today announced the national launch of the world's first service for posting FREE classified ads via mobile phone. Imagine the power of snapping a video or photo of anything you want to sell, trade, promote or give-away, and instantly broadcasting it to millions, all from your mobile phone.
"IQzone is Craigslist with a dash of YouTube for the mobile generation, and that's just the beginning. People can share videos, photos - a whole world of mobile user-generated content (UGC) beyond classifieds - and monetize it or simply share it," said CEO Michael Bates.
Video brings classifieds to life. Sellers can demo products and personalize ads by simply shooting a short video with their phone. They can hold a virtual garage sale or give a video tour of their car, home or rental. College students can empty or fill dorm rooms, buy or sell textbooks, and promote local events.
It's as easy as Snap Send Sell(TM)
1. Take a video or photo with your phone
2. Add your text, price and zip
3. Send to [email protected]!
IQzone automatically categorizes the item for sale and broadcasts the ad to the universe of free online classifieds and RSS Feeds. Ads can also be shared with your Facebook Friends!
IQzone expands text-message abbreviations and turns the ad into plain English, so users don't have to change the way they "text." There is nothing to download. It's simple, it's fast, it's fun, and it's FREE!
To protect users' privacy, they can remain anonymous via voice or text-message, and may delete ads whenever they want. Your anonymity is preserved and your mobile number will never be revealed. See the site for simple instructions and try it today!
"College students have been instrumental in the development of IQzone. Living on their phones, they send thousands of text messages a month and love to share videos and photos. Now they can use IQzone to make money or broadcast UGC," added Bates.
The AlwaysOn Network (led by Tony Perkins, Founder of Red Herring/Upside Magazine) named IQzone as one of the Top 100 Private Companies of 2007.
