Optus SocialView Provides Access to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace andFlickr

Myriad Group AG has announced that Australian mobile network operator, Optus, has signed a commercial agreement to offer its eight million customers social networking services, powered by Myriad. This is the first social networking deal announced by Myriad since acquiring Xumii, Inc., the company that pioneered the use of cloud-based technologies to simultaneously connect mass-market phones to multiple social networks.

Now live, the Myriad-powered Optus SocialView service seamlessly adds social networking features to Optus’ existing mobile portal, Optus Zoo. Using a mobile phone browser, Optus users can now view friends’ messages from Australia’s most popular social networking sites – Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Flickr. Users can also post their own updates and tweets, either to a specific site, or to all of their social networks simultaneously.

SocialView lets you view updates from your favourite social networks and photo sites in one place. All of your friends' status updates from all your favourite social networks in one place! SocialView connects your Facebook, Twitter, MySpace & Flickr profiles in one place. You can also receive daily SMS alerts that give you an update on new SocialView activity.

SocialView is available from the Optus Zoo mobile portal only. There are two ways you can get there:
+ Go to Optus Zoo on your mobile and select the SocialView icon from the homepage;
+ SMS "SocialView" to 966. Click the link* in the reply message and it will take you to the SocialView homepage.
