Wadja users can enjoy new quality SMS services

Wadja.com is a simple, social and mobile real-time content curation network where users create people to topic connections. Wadja is glad to announce a partnership with Attenzo, which will offer its SMS application on Wadja’s platform.

Attenzo is group of professionals, active in the information technology covering areas of web site design, development and hosting, software application development -emphasising in social web applications- and mobile application development. The fundamental aim of Attenzo is to constantly be close to its clients and offer solutions that cover any need they may have.

Both companies joined forces forming a new dynamic partnership based on applications development that will greatly benefit Wadja users. From now on all users will be able to enjoy high quality SMS services in over 200 countries, fast, reliably and with extra features.

“As we speak, users from all over the world use Attenzo’s applications to contact their friends and families. Attenzo offers a user friendly interface with many useful features like SMS scheduling, contacts upload and detailed statistics.” said business development manager, George Koiliaris.

Wadja and Attenzo will continue the developing of new applications that will add extra value and serve the needs of a demanding community.

Wadja helps users make sense of various types of social services, by separating the noise and spam from the real signal. Creating a label takes seconds and allows a user to decide whether to enable or disable targeted content from Digg or Last.FM. Only news, videos, photos, stats, charts, biographies that are directly related to his label (topic) will appear under each specific label, while filters allow the user to make further refinements on the type of information s/he will receive.

Says the CEO of Wadja, “The beauty of a labeling system is that it sorts and organizes content into easily digestible information. Imagine a way in which a user can filter all the information they need and want, and which is currently dispersed in an array of other social networks, into just one place. Your label.”

A user can enable or disable their Digg or Last.FM feeds as well as filter incoming information creating a clean, streamlined space in which a very focused concentration of information will appear. Other users can search and follow interesting label topics to view and discuss content that is directly related to their interests.

Under the popular label ‘U2 360 Tour’ for example, one can receive news, videos and photos from fans across the world, as well as interacting in live conversations with other label followers who are interested in the same topic.

The magic of labels keeps your online conversations fresh, organized and up to date. Wadja’s unique social and mobile networking services help users create instant topic-oriented conversations using labels. Labels are an excellent way to find, organize and manage social media content and also help reduce the ‘noise’ of real-time information.

Labels enable the creation of communities that come together through their common interests, hobbies and activities. Wadja creates personal, customized, label “tags” and opens up a whole new world of messaging.  Wadja’s powerful platform provides all the advantages of online messaging, remote updates, notifications and SMS.

George Koiliaris, Business Development Manager at Wadja, adds, “In just a short period, our partnership with gWallet has proved very successful. It allows us to generate revenue while providing our users the ability to redeem their points to send free SMS. With over 600 network partners, we are able to cover SMS services in over 200 countries worldwide. It is very obvious that our users love the combined services that gWallet and Wadja provide.”

A Wadja csapata

We’d like to let you know that the ever-popular Chilean Rock band “Cine Marte” is now on Wadja! You can find out news from Gabriel, Zack, Rodrigo, and Felipe by joining them on Wadja and following their news and updates.

In just one week, the Spanish-speaking Rock band has already received more than 100 followers on the Cine Marte label, with fans jumping on and joining the conversation. One fan noted, that its a great way to  see everything that is being said about the group on Twitter, watch the latest videos from YouTube get their latest news, talk with other fans, upload their own photos and chat live with other fans, all from one place.

Singer songwriter Gabriel Sara says, “We really like the way we can see so much stuff on Wadja. Messages from our fans, content from other social networks, photos.. and we can update everyone with our news, events etc. What’s really cool is that we can send photos and messages to our followers straight from our phones in real time! ”

Here are some words from Gabriel himself:

Wadja: Why did you create a profile on Wadja.com for your band?

Gabriel: We created a profile page for the band, so that we can reach new audiences and keep our fans all over the world up to date in real time.

Wadja: What kind of things can you share with your followers on the site?

Gabriel: We love to share all kinds of content and Wadja makes it all possible. From personal experiences, our latest news, interviews, video clips, music and updates of all kinds.

Wadja: Has it brought good results to the band?

Gabriel: Of course it has! We’ve received a lot of congratulations and messages charged with energy from our fans. For us on the other hand it’s also a really a great way to communicate and fun, because we can update our Wadja labels straight from our phones and from any place!

Wadja: Anything else you would like to add?

Gabriel: We hope everyone joins Wadja, a community in the vanguard, that without a doubt is really giving people something to talk about!

There’s been a lot of talk recently on issues of privacy on the social net and we wanted to fill you in on how Wadja users can use the privacy settings to manage who sees what and when.

As a Wadja user you can create labels and/or connect to other people with the same interests as you. As long as the label creator has opened it up for everyone to see you will be able to see and join it.

Whenever you create your own label you have complete control over who sees what. You can customise your labelled activity and privacy in a number of ways with full control of your labelled conversations. In the screenshot below, you can see how easy it is to change your privacy settings (click on the image to see it in full):

Real time conversations and social content are organised under customized “label” tags. Every conversation can be labelled as an open forum, strictly restricted to friends, and/or customized to allow certain people to join and not others. It is all up to you.

As you can see above, a label may be set to “Everyone”, “Friends”, “Just me” or “No one”. Each setting enables a user to choose how each and every one of a their labels can be viewed. Some system labels like Email and SMS are of course set to private by default and cannot be changed, but privacy levels on any other label can be switched at any time. It’s a very simple yet powerful security feature that gives you, the user, full control of what people can and cannot see.

My label #Economic Crisis is open for everyone to see and join. Hop in and share your thoughts on all that is happening in the world now!

Until then, have fun!

• Pinpoint where you are
• Find Wadja people and labels in your region
• Find great stores, bars and other locations in your surrounding area and
• Earn Wadja points!

Once you have checked in on Foursquare, you will automatically be provided with a Foursquare system label. This helps you organise and view your movements whenever you wish to see them. The Wadja Foursquare label adds an extra layer of structure and organisation to your whereabouts. Now you can see, at any time you wish, an organised social timeline showing you where you have checked in and when, whenever you wish to do so. You can view and remember where you were on any given day. Here’s an example of my movements in the past seven days… hmm been working too hard!!

Earn More Points!
And that’s not all! You can earn points by checking in to Wadja. Its simple. Check in using the Foursquare feature and once a day, we’ll give you the same amount of points you earn, on Wadja! You can use your points to send SMS or personalise your Wadja experience using the labs feature.
