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!

C-Net News caught Xumii at DEMO’08. Gaming and Culture columnist Daniel Terdiman writes about us in his article Xumii puts all of people’s social networks in their pockets:
“…users can access a list of friends from any social network they’re part of, a list that will show each friend, the service they’re part of, and whether they’re online or not.
That’s pretty cool, and another nice feature is the ability to share photos or other files with people on that all-encompassing friends list. So, for example, a user could access their Flickr photos, select a picture, and then have it sent to any friends on their list.
Ultimately, what’s nice about Xumii is that it will allow people to take their social networks in their pocket, and not worry–as I’m sure many do–that while they’re on the go they are out of touch. This way, they can stay in touch no matter where they are, and they can continually update their friends with the latest things they’re doing, or the most recent photos they’ve taken.”
Thanks to everyone we met at Demo 2008!

We got a nice little writeup in VentureBeat today, and I was happy to see it highlighted one of my favorite features in Xumii, ‘Groups’:
…“Groups” can be collections of any people, be it family, friends or aquaintances. “Groups” lets you send one message to all of them. At the same time it lets you view any messages coming from this select group. The “group” feature may sound trivial, but it’s actually valuable if you imagine, for example, how hard it is to organize groups on an evening out. Imagine messaging 10 friends to meet for dinner at your favorite restaurant, then being able to discuss the plan as a group on Xumii.”
Groups is also for concerts, conferences, even brands to share their sponsored content – Groups is a super easy way to keep connected with people who care about the same things you do. Sign up for Xumii today, and see how the Groups feature will change the way you and your friends communicate with one another.
