fring™ mashes up users’ social circles

London, 30 May 2009. fring (www.fring.com) today announced the launch of a new version of its award- winning social community and communication service that combines each contact’s separate online social communities into one manageable profile on the users’ mobile phone. fring enables users to talk and chat with their Internet instant message buddies on Skype, GTalk, etc and experience their favorite online communities like Facebook, Twitter, last.fm among other internet services from one integrated, searchable fring contact list. The new fring version combines a users’ multiple IM contacts into one dynamic profile to show each friend’s current availability at a quick glance and enable interaction directly from this combined mobile profile.

Avi Shechter, Co-founder and CEO of fring explained: “Our fring users typically manage several separate online social circles on their phones and the internet. We’ve created a solution to keep the user in the center of their various social worlds, with one rich, dynamic profile for each contact that lets users see where their friends are available at a glance and facilitates easy social community experiences from one simple mobile phone interface.”

fring also now offers hints to alert users when a friend from their regular phone book or internet community contacts is also a fringster so they can add easily them to their fring friend list.

The new version is currently available for Symbian users; Windows Mobile & iPhone support coming soon. Click here to download fring’s latest version 3.4 .
