Jumbuck's 'Fast Flirting' Wins ME Community Award
SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON, September 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Jumbuck Entertainment Ltd. was awarded "Best Community Service Provider" at this week's ME Awards event. Jumbuck took home the honor for its wildly popular mobile dating service, Fast Flirting(TM). Fast Flirting is a real-time, text-based mobile dating service that gives users ten minutes to impress their flirting partner. "In assessing Jumbuck as the winner in the Best Community Service Provider category, the judges were struck by the breadth of coverage Jumbuck offers, and specifically its Fast Flirting service, which gives a high degree of customization to its users," said Tim Green, executive editor of Mobile Entertainment. The ME Awards event, organized and hosted by Mobile Entertainment magazine, celebrates innovation and achievement in the mobile content sector in the United Kingdom. The awards are voted upon by a judging panel of some 400 industry executives. Fast Flirting was launched in late 2002 and today is available on most major wireless carriers in the USA, Canada and UK. On any given day, over 40,000 users log in to the service connected by mobile networks around the world, to text chat and exchange pictures, emoticons, and animations. Users can choose a flirting partner based on age, location and preference, and then engage in private text conversations. "We're thrilled to receive this prestigious award from Mobile Entertainment," said Noemi Kubiak, Jumbuck's SVP of business development in Europe. "Fast Flirting represents the convergence of several popular phenomena -- social networking, speed dating and mobile chat -- to a simple and fun form of mobile entertainment. We believe a lot more people will use their mobile phone in future to access dating services rather than use the wired web."
