Free Mobile Viral Messaging Service Launches GeeSpark
ROK
Entertainment is offering GeeSpark, the world's first
mobile viral messaging service.
GeeSpark will enable users to chat, share messages, images and YouTube videos on their mobile phones and forward these to their friends and groups, in a viral fashion like broadcast messaging on computers, where users share messages with multiple friends at the same time
GeeSpark has been developed by ROK's Finland-based mobile services development company, Geniem. GeeSpark is currently in invitation-only Beta mode and will be advertising-funded. The service is free to join from www.geespark.com and is free to use provided the user has a data plan in their mobile tariff.

"In the past few
years, there has been a phenomenonal uptake in, and migration from, the
use of email onto instant messaging and now onto multi-person
'broadcast' messaging using PC-based social networking services," said
Tuomas Kumpula, Managing Director of Geniem, "and we believe the next
evolution in the networking space will be through mobile phones wherein
GeeSpark users can share messages, images and videos from YouTube with
all of their friends at once, on a viral basis, through their mobile
phones."
Commenting on GeeSpark, Laurence Alexander, Group CEO of ROK, said, "To be launching the world's first mobile viral messaging service is tremendously exciting and is another major milestone in the development and deployment of our suite of revenue-generating mobile services and technologies."
