Pitch Website Goes live

Filed in archive Mobile Community by tom on February 22, 2007

As promised, here's my excuse for being more absent than present for the past few weeks: The web version of the Pitch Mobile Community has now launched, and as I'm the lead developer on both the Web and WAP side of things, I've been a little busy working my fingers to the bone in WML, HTML, CSS and a little javascript :)

With the launch of the website, I've also extended the functionality of the WAP service. Here's the big list of stuff the service now supports:

Cross-platform chat
* Mobile to PC to mobile personal chat
* Mobile to PC to mobile group chat
* Mobile to PC to mobile pitchmail (email internal to the site)

Video upload, sharing & commenting
* upload via mobile and view on the web or mobile
* upload via web and view on mobile or web
* supported formats: 3gplinks, avi, divx, xvid, mpg, flv, mp4
(upload in any of these formats at it's automatically converted to play on both web & mobile...)

Image upload, sharing & commenting
* upload via mobile and view on the web or mobile
* upload via web and view on mobile or web

Mixed content albums
* have videos and images in the same virtual photo album
* share albums with the world, your friends or keep them private
* per-image/per-video/per-album comments

Blogging
* blog from web, appears on phone
* blog from phone, appears on web

WAP site persanalisation
* turn on or off portions of your profile for display in WAP

Personalised URL
* The nickname (PitchTag) you register with also acts as a URL to take visitors to your Web page. For example, going to http://www.pitch.mobi/cro will take you to my page :)

We haven't really done any marketing of the site yet, but we've already topped 20,000 users (and been featured on CNN during a report about 3GSM, which was nice). I've spent a lot of time on this to make sure that the service truly is cross-platform, and that chatting with people via your PC, whilst they are on their phones really is as seamless as it appears.
