BOSTON, Feb 08, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Mobile17.com has offered the ability to create your own mobile content, such as ringtones and graphics, from your computer's personal media library, music program (i.e. iTunes), or photo collection, now since 2005. This week is a big anniversary, as their "content creation" counter has rolled over to the 10-million-file mark! Since this milestone, the project has already delivered another 100,000 pieces of content.
The killer in all of this: it was first built in 2005 by 17 year-old Ben Guild, a Boston-area resident seeking something more than just an average education. Through both peer and word-of-mouth marketing, and especially thanks to the excited words of a few friends and family members, the site now boasts just under 1.5 million users across the country.
Ben, now 20 years-old, is seeking to expand Mobile17 from its primarily student-aged audiences (think Facebook) to the average consumer, allowing anyone with a cellphone to enjoy both the convenience of popular content for sale by your service-provider (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint) alongside Mobile17's alternative abilities to prepare customized conversions of lesser- known, independent artists, or different lengths/variations of songs that are not normally offered in a more commercial setting. It is this audience, this demand that has made Mobile17 a success (60-70% of all traffic is made up of repeat customers); 2008 is going to be a big year.
Ben offers Mobile17.com's services at no charge, however you may choose to pay if you want faster service (non-paying customers line up in a 'queue'). All expenses are primarily supported by advertising.
For additional information, please feel free to browse http://mobile17.com or contact Ben himself at any time
