Golive.ee is a free-time social network, what offers you to create your own homepage, communities, use forums, rate and comment other users and their photos, communicate with your friends and get new ones.
“I like the services that are offered by fortumo.com, because they help to start SMS-services quickly and simply for everybody. On my own site i am planning to add Fortumo´s mobile operator support for other countries, so that people from different places could use our services.”
How have you applied SMS-services?
The whole site is for free in general, but priced services enable to use the site conveniently. For example you can add advertisements, more friends into your friends list, have more photos on your profile. We use to have a competition, where you could give votes by sending messages. User just has to send a message with the right keyword and the credit will be transfered to the user´s golive.ee account what he/she can use or the user´s order will be activated. The best thing about SMS-services is that all the procedures happen instantly.
Where did the idea of using SMS-services come from?
The idea to create Golive came from the most successful social network site in Estonia. In the beginning people thought golive (old name dates-web.net) is the copy of the before reffered site, but very quickly it became for it´s content and opportunities even ideal enviroment than the competitor. Whereby there has been an infoleak that the competitor has added functionality after golive.ee.
Why did you decide to use SMS- services in your web business?
I started to use SMS-services cause everyone has a mobile phone and why not to use it in my business. Sending messages is easy and comfortableand users prefer it over bank transactions, what is rather time-consuming and unpleasant experience.
What has SMS-service additionally given you?
For the site it has given surplus value (trustworthiness, attractivity, convenience etc), for me a very postive experience with fortumo.com and additional knowleadge about sms gateway systems.
