Mobitsu Launches UGC Platform

Mobitsu has announced the launch of its service-based platform of the same name, which enables people to make money from their mobile phone by uploading user-generated content. Mobitsu members can earn up to 1 each time an item is downloaded or bought.
Members using the service can publish content on any subject matter in the form of videos, ringtones, MP3s, software, photos, games and screensavers. This content is then immediately available to the rest of the community for their entertainment, download or purchase. Mobitsu provides integrated technology that will detect which formats a mobile phone or device can support and will then convert the content on the fly to accommodate the delivery. 
The concept offers some unrivalled benefits, says Mobitsu. The company believes it will play an important role in the launch of unsigned artistes and bands, as the service is not only able to provide exposure but also the ability to make money from their work.
Signing up to the service is free and anyone can preview all downloadable videos, graphics, ringtones and audio on the website, as well as view member profiles and photos.
There are currently 16 different categories on the site, including Unsigned Artistes, Games, Hobbies, Sports & Recreation, Music, Movies and TV, as well as categories covering Love and Romance. 
Members can download or buy all media uploaded by other members, and use the sites other features, including chat rooms and forums. Members can also message and text each other. SMS messages are sent through Mobitsu in order to protect the recipient's mobile number.
