Mobile Enabled Social Community "Mobloco.com" Launches Mobile Alert Service in BETA on the Heels of NBA All-Star

Atlanta Based African-American Tech-Firm revolutionizes mobile connectivity landscape with Mobloco.com, a free mobile social network that provides up-to-the-minute alerts about social happenings, events and other activities based on user location, lifestyle, interests and preferences delivered to and browsable from an internet-enable mobile device.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 21, 2007 -- The first localized, mobile community that allows consumers to RSVP, tag and post events, send and received text messages, create mobile profiles and connect people to the social scene in their local area, recently launched on the heels of NBA All-Star.

The consumer-generated content-based site provides a platform for finding or publicizing a variety of events, both local and remote which are viewable online and on internet-enabled mobile devices. With online expanded search capabilities and interactive mapping, consumers are able to add their own listings that are attached to their official Mobloco profile, along with any supporting information, such as event descriptions, dates of events, photos/flyers and venues where they take place. Additionally, consumers of the free community are able to create alerts to receive notifications on their mobile devices of when events are happening based on the preferences that they specify.

We've been working diligently over the past several years on mobile applications. We felt that taking a chance to get ahead of the curve would yield to be highly effective for a generation of users that can't leave home without their PDA or cellular phone.

"While you can view other people profiles and make contact, we're not trying to be a MySpace. We are more focused on the mobility of our product and delivering solid results for staying connected on-the-go to people and happenings in any US local area and eventually globally" included Sonja Williams, Co-Founder and Application Developer.
