myGamma - my World

So it was not just GyPSii that opened up its platform to the third parties. BuzzCity is doing the same with the launch of myGamma Developer Platform. As a result, interested developers can use the API provided to integrate their applications with the 3.2 million user-strong mobile social networking service – myGamma.

From the official release:

The initiative expects to see yet more engaging and useful applications developed as part of the company’s commitment to creating an enriching experience when users discover, connect and share. Insights into user activity suggest that utility applications like job alerts or cheap fare alerts will do just as well as fun activities like snowballs and water-bombs. BuzzCity also expects more advertisers to use the Developer Platform to deploy applications as an alternate means of reaching mobile internet users.

It’s good to see mobile social networks following the example of their “desktop brothers” like Facebook and MySpace. I wonder which service will jump on board next? I can certainly see this being beneficial for all the parties involved…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
