Bebo goes mobile with NewBay

NewBay Software, the leading provider of mobile multimedia and social networking solutions, today announced that its UGC Gateway now supports interaction with Bebo, one of the world’s largest social networks.

Beboers will now be able to upload images and text, browse profiles and receive text alerts to their mobile phone. Orange UK today announced that it is the first mobile operator to partner with Bebo.

Orange UK customers will be able to stay in touch with their friends on Bebo, meet new people and express themselves anytime, anywhere from any Orange phone.
