Via.Me is First App to Offer Photo, Video, Audio Filtering and Sharing to Multiple Social Networks
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - March 1, 2012 - RadiumOne Labs today introduced its newest app Via.Me, the first app that makes creating, filtering and sharing pictures, videos, audio notes, and content across multiple social networks easy - all from a single app and single touch of a button. Users can also upload photos, videos, audio notes and text online from www.Via.Me and publish to any of their social profiles.
"We created a great product that not only is fun to use for consumers, but becomes a game changer for brands and publishers," said Gurbaksh Chahal, CEO of RadiumOne. "Via.me is the easy, simple solution that enables publishing multiple types of content from one place across all your social profiles."
RadiumOne acquired Focal Labs last year and this product is a result of that acquisition. Via.Me is now available in the iPhone App Store, with more platforms to come.
At launch, Via.Me has partnered with several third party Twitter clients to integrate with. Most notably, PeerIndex and OneLouder. OneLouder are the creators of TweetCaster, the number one third party mobile twitter app, with millions of users around the world and named top developer by Google with multiple apps receiving their highest ratings. PeerIndex created the leading standard for identifying, ranking and scoring personal social capital.
"We are looking forward to a great partnership with RadiumOne and believe that Via.Me will help millions of TweetCaster fans to enjoy an even better experience when publishing and sharing photos and other media," said Evan Conway, President of OneLouder.
