18/09/07

LONDON: 18 Sept. 2007 – Trutap Limited today launched the beta of trutap, a pioneering, free mobile service that allows users across the world to enjoy a simple way to stay connected to their social lives from the palm of their hand, at TechCrunch40 in San Francisco. The company is one of a handful of European companies presenting at TechCrunch40, selected from 700 submissions, as one of the most innovative new companies globally.

Aimed at 18-24 year olds, trutap is the first mobile service to combine all the elements of your social life into one, easy-to-use application. Users will have the ability to IM, group message, upload text and pictures to blogs and send pictures via a mobile, wherever they are, whenever they want, removing the need to be sat at a computer in order to stay in touch with friends and family. There are currently 600 million potential users in the target age group worldwide.

Doug Richard, co-founder and CEO of trutap explained: “Young people today want to live life in real time, sharing gossip, news and experiences as they happen. For the first time, users will have the ability to move between their IM services, and soon their social network sites, in an easy way on their mobile through one application. With trutap, you can keep the conversation going; taking your groups of friends with you wherever you go so you never miss out. This application will kick start the mobile internet revolution we’ve been waiting for.”
