BlueWhaleMail Brings Facebook to More People

Although Mobile web browsing is becoming increasingly popular, it is important to note that the majority of users do not own a Smartphone. This deters users from receiving email, and calls for less user-friendly web browsing. However, BlueWhaleMail is a new application that allows users without Smartphone capabilities to experience aspects of the web such as social networking, without logging on.

Users without Smarphones can now social network on the go through the BlueWhaleMail application. Users simply download the application, and have access to sites like LinkedIn and Facebook. It works similar to a text message in that when a Facebook friend updates their status or profile, users are notified through their cellular phone. Users can then respond to these updates through the application. There is a larger emphasis on being able to go on Facebook through phones from manufacturers such as Nokia and SonyEricsson, as users can download the application through Facebook’s website. The emphasis placed on social networks through mobile phones is just one way in which social media is becoming more and more prominent in everyday life.
