Kiwibox, Goes WAP

Kiwibox, teen social networking destination, announced the launch of a new WAP service designed to expand their online community to mobile users. WAP, or wireless application protocol, is an open international standard for applications that use wireless communication to enable access to the Internet from a mobile phone or PDA.

The extension into the mobile market will allow Kiwibox’s 1.8 million teen users the flexibility to communicate on-the-go. Kiwibox’s WAP site will translate the innovative social networking features currently found on the Web site to the mobile handset.

Kiwibox partnered with Quattro Wireless to mobilize the existing Kiwibox.com web site. Using Quattro’s Juicing technology, the site content rapidly develops into a dynamic format suited to a mobile presence with the layout and intuitive navigation specifically adapted for all types of handsets.
