AnnaAbi.com is a web page for Estonian students from primary school up the way to higher education, where they can quickly search about almost anything. Besides school study materials AnnaAbi.com has also the biggest dictionary in Estonia (in English- Estonian dictionary more then 180 000 words).
“During second semester in university, with course mates we were planning to create a web page where we could exchange material, not to make an effort with slow speed in MSN or SKYPE. The idea came from thinking – why to keep all the material to myself, rather share. Next idea was that everybody could share. Cause a human being is selfish, we had to think of a system that imposes people to upload their own material. By now AnnaAbi uses point system (buy-sell). People who instantly want to download the materials and/or don´t have nothing to give for the exchange, Fortumo came to help.”
How have you applied SMS-services?
Lots of users wish to download the material instantly. For example, tomorrow you have a test/an exam and you don´t have time or desire to upload your material to earn the points. In AnnaAbi there is constantly supplemented congeries of material, where users get the answers to all of their questions. Response has been positive and benignant.
Where did the idea of using SMS- services come from?
SMS-services are probably the most comfortable way to pay for a service. Compared to bank transaction it´s faster and certainly more comfortable, but the disadvantage is the fee of mobile operators. But I think SMS-services should be utilized on every web page where it is possible, to offer comfort and variety to the page.
Why did you decide to use SMS- services in your web business?
Cause people want to download the material instantly. With Fortumo´s help users get the needed material only in few minutes. That brings the assurance that even in dire straits you can get help.
What has SMS-service additionally given you?
Through Fortumo people can order points and make themselves as VIP (user who has illimitedly points by a certain time) only by sending an SMS. VIP status is valid for one month and when user (student) continues studies in school, then probably the student uses AnnaAbi as long as he/she is studying.
