Building on the success of SMS
SMS is one of the communications industry's biggest success stories, generating billions in revenues. However, SMS revenue streams are flattening worldwide. Where text messaging once captured the public's imagination, today's consumers are searching for new, exciting and interactive ways of communicating with individuals, groups and communities.

In recent years, people have rediscovered this excitement within online communities and social networks.
