Yahoo brings party planning to your cell phone
Yahoo brings party planning to your cell phone
ZD Net Mobile News is reporting that Yahoo is planning on bringing party planning to our mobile devices
But Mixd, launched Thursday, isn’t really social networking in the traditional sense. You aren’t creating a profile a la MySpace and striving to build a bigger and better-looking friends list. Rather, it’s like cattle herding for the partygoer sector: you use Yahoo’s service to organize a group of your friends for a “Mixer” (a party or night out), coordinating it all through text and picture messages.
Mixd is geared toward sociable young people who are already avid text messengers, said Scott Gatz of Yahoo’s Advanced Products Group. “The mobile phone is like a piece of their body,” he said. “It’s inseparable from them.”
