A social network, founded in the year 2007 by
two Johannesburg university
students, Alan Wolff and Ashley Peter while in university.
2go which is a
mobile messenger that allows users to chat with friends and family, connect
with friends on Facebook, Google talk, Mxit and get recent updates on your Twitter account is one mobile application that is silently competing with Whatsapp in
Africa as it can be found on about
75-80% of java supported phone in
Nigeria.
This social
network is said to posses over 10 million active users. With 4 developers and talented
developers been recruited over the past six months, the two passionate founders
has been able to drive the mobile messenger into the smart phone market,
starting with the Android platform which is moving at a fast sale across the
globe.
Android users,
has been able to run the java version of the mobile app which was recently
updated to version 3.6.4 with the use of java emulator for android (JBED) which
could run successfully only on a rooted android device.
The first
android version which includes push notifications, a sleek user interface
making it intuitive and easy to use has been launched into the Google playstore and can also be downloaded directly from its official website- www.2go.im.
A co-founder of
the 2go social messenger, Alan Peter described the version 1.0 of 2go for
android a good first step which culled in a great feedback from users but much
is expected from the developers as they work towards refining the app and
adding to it great functionalities. When asked why it took time for the android
version to hit the smart phone market he said “ making sure the first android
version of the app met the high expectations of its passionate users, maintain
same fun, social experience and also be a beautiful product that would be felt,
look and behave like a smart phone app.”
“This is just
the beginning” said the co-founder of 2go mobile messenger and that short
sentence could make her users be expectant of an update soon as they also look
forward to its arrival on the IOS platform.
