Hello everyone,

Our CEO  Jennifer Zanich will speak on the panel “Social Network & Community Mania” on December 9th at the Mobile Media Investor Conference.

It’s Thanksgiving for Xumii users in the United States.  It’s a time to be thankful and eat lots of servings of turkey and pumpkin pie.

Stuck at the airport? Read through the news or watch YouTube videos. Chat with your  contacts and read through their status updates.

Share your memories with everyone you know. While chatting in Xumii, forward holiday photos from your albums. Share the love by giving a Xumii gift to friends and family.

Don’t forget to tell your family and friends to get Xumii, so that you can stay connected throughout the year.

Our CEO Jennifer Zanich is speaking today from 1600-1730 at the ANZA Technology Summit on the CEOs’ Business Forum What Makes a Great CEO?

The ANZA Technology Network supports innovative Australian and New Zealand networks in the United States. Xumii brings the best of innovation from Australia and the U.S. to create a product for the global market!

Xumii is slap-bang in the middle of a hearty Beta. There is lots of good stuff to play with and the bugs are few and far between. But we only support about half the handsets on the planet right now. Luckily, we support lots of Nokia phones.

So, if you;

1. Have a data plan on your cell/mobile phone
2. Love your friends on all your social networks and IM’s and want to carry them all in your pocket
3. And have one of the phones below or listed here.

Then come and sign up for Xumii

A Star is born!

Hey folks, we’ve just put out a new face to the world with a new website.

Check us out at http://www.xumii.com. It’s even easier to register, download Xumii to your phone and get started chatting with your friends on all the major social networks.

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!

Be sure to join Xumii now–sign up at http://www.xumii.com. It’s free!

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.
