Think of smsClubs as a wireless meeting place, where people who share the same interests communicate anywhere and anytime, using their mobile devices. Subject matter is diverse, ranging from sports, music and religion, to romance, computers and just about anything you can imagine.
Concurrent with the Company's 50,000-milestone announcement, SMS.ac chairman and chief executive officer Michael Pousti also announced that over 1 million mobile phone users joined one or more smsClubs during the months of August and September 2003.
"SMS.ac believes that smsClubs represent the largest community of mobile phone users and the largest number of mobile communities of any company in the world," said Pousti. "We are amazed at the increasing number of people that congregate wirelessly to communicate on such a wide variety of topics. As an example, have a look at the smsClub named, 'Fans of Vanilla-Ice.' That community alone has an international user base of nearly 18,000."
A snapshot of other smsClubs around the world and their populations are, "The Penang Badminton and Bicycling Club" (8740); "X-treme" (14,370); "I Love School" (6,240); "World of Islam" (8,320); "Psychic Readings" (3,700); "Worst Movies Ever" (790); "Funlovers" (7,830); "Ghost Stories and Strange Tales" (590); and "PC Games" (13,100).
