Myriad Updates aims to help operators bring social features to phones without data connections.
Mobile technology firm Myriad Group has announced a new white-label service called Myriad Updates, which helps operators bring social networking services to non-data users.
The service uses Myriad's Xumii platform, allowing people to connect to friends on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Flickr. The software pulls down updates and collects them into one place, for operators to offer to users.
Myriad is targeting developing countries with the new service. "Through Myriad Updates, operators can enable mobile users with no access to data services, to connect with each other and the world around them for the first time," says CEO Simon Wilkinson.
The company recently inked a deal with Telefonica to launch Xumii-powered social networking across the operator's Movistar and Vivo brands in Latin America.
