TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dec. 7, 2005–mail2web.com, a world-wide application provider for consumers and businesses and a brand of Softcom Technology Consulting Inc., announced today the official launch of its own MediaBlog service. This free service goes beyond traditional web logs or blogs by providing support for any file type a member may want to upload and share through a personal, customizable space on the mediablog portal (http://mediablog.mail2web.com/).
In addition, the mail2web.com MediaBlog supports making blog posts directly from popular mobile phone applications such as Nokia’s Lifeblog, included on most of Nokia’s latest handsets as well as support for Apple® iTunes Podcasting.
“We wanted to build upon the success of our email retrieval application and provide our loyal customers something they have been asking for,” said Tony Yustein, CEO of SoftCom Technology Consulting Inc. “While there are a lot of free blog services in the market, in my opinion most have deficiencies. In developing our own product we took the opportunity to address those shortcomings.”
One of the main shortcomings mail2web.com identified were file restrictions. While traditional blogs only support images, mail2web.com’s MediaBlog product allows members to upload any file type, from a Powerpoint® Presentation to a MPEG4 video file. There are no identified restrictions on file size or file type.
