Jennifer van Grove from the social networking blog Mashable took a test drive of our new iPhone app today in her post Xumii’s iPhone App Combines IM and Social Utility.
iPhone owners have plenty of choices when it comes to merging their IM accounts. They also have over 70 options for free mobile social media apps. What we’ve yet to see done right, however, is an app that merges the convenience of IM with the social utility we need.
Xumii, a mobile social address book available for a smattering of phones, has just released their free iPhone app that almost perfectly bridges the gap between social media sharing and chat functionality for all your contacts.
If you’re a new Xumii iPhone user, note that Xumii is available on dozens of handsets, not just the iPhone or iPod Touch, so your friends with Nokias can join in the fun too!
