Found this article over on smstextnews sounds great
Pitch announces the launch of a mobile social networking service (uk.pitch.mobi) alongside its existing advertising funded mobile content offer.
Today’s launch means that as well as free mobile content (videos, games, ringtones, screensavers and wallpapers) Pitch customers can enjoy a suite of mobile social networking applications.
Pitch customers can build their own mobile home page, complete with a unique user name (PitchTag), enjoy group texting and IM and upload and share user generated content. A web application of Pitch, to follow in December, will complete the service, allowing customers to use and manage their Pitch profile from both PC and mobile.
Lourens de Beer, CEO of Pitch: “Through research we learned that what customers want is additional functionality to allow them to do more on their mobiles. For example, PitchTag really strikes a chord with customers because it means you can create a mobile identity, give people your PitchTag and they can contact you without needing to have your mobile number, something which is very personal.”
Creating a PitchTag tag allows a person, a band or even a brand to promote their Pitch mobile space anywhere and by texting in the tag to the Pitch short code (for example ’sally’ to 87000) you get an instant hyperlink straight to the specific home page.
Pitch believes that its service fulfils the requirements of web based existing social networking sites and that the immediacy of mobile gives a distinct point of difference.
