Primaries, Superdelegates, and Party Conventions – Get Ready to Ring
United States of America (Press Release) March 31, 2008 --
The 2008 election is entering a new phase in voter engagement with the arrival of the first full release of RingTones08.com - the only free site for posting and sharing ringtones about the 2008 US election. Previously covered in the Wall Street Journal and blogs such as the NY Times On Caucus, RingTones08 pushes people-powered messaging, like Dipdive’s “Yes We Can” video, beyond computer screens into real world venues like malls, campuses, bus stops - wherever cell phones ring.
“RingTones08 provides a creative outlet for people to express their opinions about the ’08 election,” said Jo Lee, founder of RingTones08.com. “RingTones08 is really easy to use and a great vehicle for engaging political junkies and new voters alike. We’ve done the blogs, T-shirts and bumper stickers. Now it’s time to ring!”
RingTones08.com relies on Myxer, the leader in ad-supported mobile content with over 6 million users and 15 million mobile downloads per month, to deliver their mobile content. Myxer’s revolutionary platform simplifies the delivery of any user-generated content (such as music, video, pictures, and more) to mobile devices, no matter which carrier or network the phone is on. “Myxer is pleased to power RingTones08.com,” said Myk Willis, Founder and CEO of Myxer. “Just as Myxer has democratized the mobile marketplace, making it possible for anyone to bring their content to mobile phones, RingTones08 is using that power to bring political discourse to the mobile platform.”
“Activists in the Philippines and Spain used ringtones to broadcast their messages and influence politicians,” said Katrin Verclas, co-founder of Mobile Active, a nonprofit that focuses on mobile phones for social impact campaigns. “With a cell phone in the pocket of nearly every voter in America, it’s time for America to ring.”
Ringtones08 makes it quick and easy to create ringtones and broadcast opinions - from any political persuasion - about national or local candidates, get out the vote, or any other subject dealing with the 2008 election. To make a ringtone, users can record popular videos or mix audio files. To post a ringtone, users simply go to RingTones08.com, click on “Submit Your Tone” and follow the steps on Myxer’s site (www.myxer.com) to upload their political ringtone.
