Twitter is getting more popular than ever and even celebrities such as Lance Armstrong, Britney Spears, Stephen Fry, Kevin Rose, etc. are using the micro-blogging platform to share their personal life, thoughts and opinions of a particular subject. Besides that, bloggers and Internet marketers try to make use of the platform to promote their blogs or products. Recently launched Zcapes is a website that helps users to create a mobile mini blog and it functions quite similar to Twitter but the only difference is that Zcapes is a mini blogging platform for the mobile phone.
With an aim to defeat Internet Search Engines for situational content, the Zcape (a page someone built for an event or an object), helps you tap in to the live web of events or objects by finding out what people are posting in their messages and about their views towards a certain topic. In each user profile, there will be a page containing an image, text box for basic information, and message boxes for communication between users. RSS, Flickr and Twitter feeds on relevant keywords to filter the live web are also available.
“There is no mobile search engine where you are able to find good results for ‘Shopping in Amsterdam right now’, let alone a service that has any inclination of my context. Zcapes fills this gap of context relevant and situational content. Zcapes will contain this information by helping people create it and provide it to others.” commented by founder Raimo van der Klein.
According to the press release, “Using a desktop or laptop, Zcapes pages can be built at www.zcapes.com. Registration is required to perform this function. The Zcape name and address is determined here as well as the tags and the category. The specific feeds and features can be selected by an intuitive and drop and drag interface. When the Zcape is completed, it can be published and announced to friends via the Twitter announce service or an email invitation.”
