With BUZmob growing in popularity with content publishers, we decided it was time to provide BUZmob end-users with a portfolio of useful mobile solutions, built around BUZmob. The service portfolio can be accessed by typing http://m.buzmob.com/services in your phone’s browser, by accessing “More BUZmob Services” on your Personal Page , or by sending the URL from the web to your phone, by clicking here.
The new services all work in a similar fashion - you can perform a search for information, and then add the search result feed in your Personal Page, and subscribe to the search. When new items match your search criteria, they will show on the saved search feed.
We’ve also added a handy “mobile sign-up” feature, allowing non-BUZmob users to use all the services, and to create their own Personal Page directly from their mobile device.
As always, mobile users can add any feed to their Personal Page by visiting http://buzme.buzmob.com on the web.
Here is a detailed description of the new BUZmob services:
(1) Search for news, blogs and feeds using Blogdigger - Type a search term and read the latest posts. Or you can add the search result feed to your Personal Page, and track new items which match your search criteria.
(2) Access millions of blogs, feeds and social network profiles directly on your mobile. Simply pull up a feed by its name. You can then add the result feed to your Personal Page, and directly access new content posted on the feed.
Supported blog platforms and social networks include:
