Flirtomatic (who I’ve written about a number of times previously as being the UK’s leading mobile and online flirting service) today announced it is launching in Australia. Flirtomatic has launched its services through ninemsn, Australia’s leading online media company.
The agreement will see Flirtomatic initially launched on-deck with major carriers using existing ninemsn content relationships. Ninemsn, with the largest digital sales team in Australia, will also handle all advertising sales, whilst its 5th Finger subsidiary will handle SMS messaging. Flirtomatic’s launch in Australia is its third in the last year beyond the UK – they’ve also gone live in the US and Germany.
Mark Curtis, CEO of Flirtomatic said: “Obviously we’re delighted to be opening up in another new territory and to be approached by an online media giant such as ninemsn, is a great reassurance for us and the work we’ve done so far. We’re looking forward to seeing what kind of virtual gifts partners can come up with to satisfy the Australian market. We naturally want to go a little deeper than the stereotypical koala bears and hats with corks.”
Mark continued: “With the Ashes going to be decided in the next few days, it’s going to be very interesting to see the kind of banter going on between Brit and Aussie flirters”.
Clearly the Brits are going to ‘own’ the Ashes and show the Aussies how it’s done. Maybe. Ahem

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
