Network on YouMint!

27 12 2007

While making all that money, don’t forget you can use YouMint for staying in touch with friends and making new friends!

P.S. When you visit a nickpage on YouMint, you will be able to see a footprint at the end of the page telling you who all visited that nickpage :-)



Get those creative juices flowing!

27 12 2007

We’ve been overwhelmed by the number of people asking us about our YouMint Mobile content marketplace! We like that :-)

This is still under construction but here’s a brief on what you can do here. You can upload any mobile content (photo/piece of music/ringtone/theme ) you’ve made yourself and you think is cool enough to have demand! Once uploaded, our moderators will approve it and Voila! you are ready to make some serious moolah selling that to your friends and to the whole YouMint community!

There is also a storefront you can maintain for yourself. If you like someone else’s content and you think that the visitors to your personal nickpage (youmint.com/username) will yearn to have that piece on their phones, then there is good news for you. You can select that piece fo content and add it to your shop and everytime someone buys it from there, you make money!! :-) Pretty cool eh!

NOTE: The shopfront and the YouMint marketplace basically runs on user generated content – so we are relying on you - the users to make sure that the content is fresh, lively, appealing and sale worthy! At the same time we need to make sure that content is not copied/pliagiaraised . That amounts to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) violation and as any fancy lawyer in town will tell you, is illegal. So we decided to moderate the content flowing in – what this means is that every piece of content flowing in will be checked by a moderator for copyright violation/vulgarity before its uploaded.

We are spending sleepless nights trying to get this up and running for you. Just bear with us for a little longer and in the meanwhile, Go Wild Inviting!!



Getting more from your phone

1 12 2007

Your phone is probably the most personal of all the consumer durables you own. (We use the word consumer durable quote consciously as phones today seem to entertain just as often as performing some utilitarian activity). And effectively a mobile phone user is a consumer , not just for voice calls, but for a whole bunch of services.

Some of us believe that as consumers, we need to change the dynamics of phone economics a bit and let users leverage their consumer status a bit more. That’s where YouMint! comes in. Its about doing a bit more with your phone…

Lets start with the cool stuff. How many times have you surfed the net to find tools that help convert that brilliant snapshot of the gang/beach holiday/fabulous party into your wallpaper/mobile theme? To convert that piece of music humming in your head into your ringtone?. Well, help is at hand. Using the YouMint studio, you will just about be able to click , drag and drop your way into creating some really cool content for your phone And what’s more, you will be able to sell it to your network using your own personal shopfront, all on You Mint!
