mig33 certification program for merchant

October 13th, 2009 by SaurabhBidani in News Comments Off

victory We have just launched a new Certification Program for Merchants, in the mig33 community.

What’s new?
This Certification Program helps us provide special recognition to our high performing merchants, who provide a great service to the mig33 community.

As we increase the profile and importance of being a Merchant, we encourage more mig33 community members to become merchants. And with more merchants, there will be more ways for mig33 members to buy mig33 credits – so everyone wins.

• Certified merchants must meet sales criteria each month
• Certified merchants are officially promoted by the mig33 merchant team
• Certified merchants must display a reasonable code of conduct.
• Certified merchants are now recognized with a special colour (purple) in mig33.

If you have sub-merchants, they may also attain status in our certification program if they meet similar sales criteria.

Special thanks!
Special thanks to members in our merchant community, who have helped us develop this program over the last few months.

Mig33 and blackberry in US

Most of mig33’s 10 million users are from outside North America. With their roots in south-east Asia, and their focus on mobile devices, mig33’s subscriber base has come from youth in countries where the primary way to access the internet has been via mobile phone.
Today they rolled out their first products that are specifically designed to target American users. Their new Blackberry client makes it easy to share photos, connect with friends, make inexpensive international phone calls, and bring all of your IM accounts together in one place.

It’s no secret that mobile social networking usage is exploding. Since May of last year, for example, mobile usage of Facebook has expanded dramatically. In November, polls I conducted showed Facebook mobile usage at 27% of the install base, up from under 10% in May a year earlier. Can mig33 grab a US foothold in this fast growing market? Perhaps, but they’ll need a solid constituency behind them. As Facebook cultivated youth via college campuses, mig33 will have to find a core constituency that cares passionately about the services they deliver. With their emphasis on inexpensive international calling, it doesn’t seem as if they’ve hit the mark yet for US consumers.

Mig33 vs mIRC

Before mig33 was born mIRC was the best well known softweare used for many people to chat at one chat room.Mig33 was a big hit. It was a software which enabled people to chat from AOL,Yahoo,Hotmail,Gmail etc..almost all the common IM programmes people use, and also it enabled people to talk in chatrooms. as mig was introduced people started shifting to mig.Now We rarely see people on mIRC, Most of the people agree that its the main reason which people started to quit IRC and join mig.Well in mirc people were’nt able to chat from thrie email ids,and they aren’t able to make contact lists which will enable them to get more friends.but mig33 has all these features. We could say that “mig is the solutionized version of mIRC”. cant we?
Eventhough there are still some people who use mIRC at their office, still the future of mig is brighter tham mIRC’s.becase now people are beein able to chat through mig33 using thair pc’s by softwares such as sJboy, Mig pro and all such java emulators plus now we can use mig33 to chat from the pc from their main website.
In my view, not only mig33 made the continues decrease in the number of people who used mIRC,As foruming became popular, lots of people got their intrests stopped in it…lots of people made freeforums and learned it while some joined the existing forums and helped them carve thair way through success. Here is an example www.mig33asia.com and www.mig33indo4u.tk

Mig33 vs mxit

Everyone has been talking about it, doing it, experiencing a new sub culture of trend. Chatting for cheaper it is, it has become the latest dating and friendship making avenue and also the tool for predators alike to commit heinous crimes.
As sending and receiving data over mobile networks becomes more prevalent, companies are launching new applications and hardware to make entering text messages easier and faster. Vendors are being driven to release products because of increased popularity of WAP (wireless application protocol) services, mobile e-mail, mobile microbrowsers and SMS (short messaging service).
Indianspice went undercover into the matrix of mig33 and that of mxit to understand this long existent medium of communication.
About the mobile chat applications
Mig33 is a chat tool that you can install on any phone that will allow you to message other Mig33 users anywhere in the world. All you need to become part of the network is to have a GPRS enabled mobile phone and a quick setup of the application to your cell phone.
Mxit is the alternative application that has swept South Africa by storm. Most Mxit users are more at ease with this application as they have been using it for a longer period of time. But it has its disadvantages for use. For one the creator of Mxit regulates the varied rooms and charges for you to interact in the Chat rooms. It even has its own currency called Moola’s that allow you to send a set amount of messages in a Chat room. After you have exhausted your funds, its time for you to buy more Moola’s.
Usability of the applications
Mig33 is more savvy in its approach to design and user end usage. You just got to be fast on the draw in the chatrooms to get your say in the chat room. In a matter of seconds the topic can change amongst the users and your point of say can be seen as old news.
Mxit is slower in approach and the chat rooms are very boring. I understand the creators logical approach to limit users to their geographic location for all intents and purposes of interaction and filtered marketing strategies but its still not the way to go. Note to Mxit: Remember there is freedom of speech and the masses will find a way to override it.
Mig33 is more flexible. How you might ask? It’s the choice of the users to create rooms by their choice of topic and intent. You may create rooms for your own pleasure and entertainment for your mates and also interact in other rooms. The slick and nifty design of the Graphic User interface is also wicked.
How much does it cost?
Mig33 is actually free believe it or not. All that you get charged for is the browsing time you spend on having your GPRS connection enabled.
Mxit, however is not free. Here you are charged for each message you send on the application for a mere 2 cents per message. And then also its your GPRS cost as well.
Safety and privacy
Privacy is one thing we all want to maintain if we are a mxit or mig33 user. But there is the dumb lot of people that just never learn. So I went off in the direction of hacking.
I hooked up with a just one person that has hacked hundreds of Mxit accounts and even did a few right in front of me. Mxit is more vulnerable to hacking than Mig33. For one to hack Mxit accounts its simple you either get to know one person and chain react a series of interesting questions to them and eventually get to their pin for Mxit.
Then the technology side has a few cracker tools to punch in a Mxit users nickname and it will process a new password for that Mxit users account without them knowing.
The algorithm for verification of the user is not that secure from what I could see when this kid did it for me. Yes I say KID as this desi boy is just 18 years old.
He (lets call him Warlock) admitted that Mxit is easier than Mig33. For hacking Mig33 he has yet to accomplish this. Right now Warlock has decided to stick with knocking out Mxit accounts and more so he does it from his phone. No fancy laptop or desktop.
Exploring the persona of the individuals in these chat rooms
The average mxit person is open to psychologically changing their style of communication to other Mxit users. There are some of those that are in the rooms that are totally geekified but go thru a make over to become the HotStud as their nickname (in internet speak the word for nickname is Handle). The same for the real life bikini babe to christen herself as SuperWoman. Its for some, an escape from reality to mould a new identity. For others, it’s a chat tool to keep in touch with friends and meet new friends for purposes that may vary.
Mig33 on the other is more aggressive, for the South African user it’s a new tool to them still. And there are many Mxit users that are slowly being converted from Mxit to Mig33.
The urban Jungle of Chat
For the urban metrosexual, ubersexual, hottie babe it’s a tool to meet friends, find a date and a host of other activities and intents. Some we shall not speak of mind you.
The office worker gets hooked too
For the average Joe Soap that uses a pc, they have become hooked on other chat applications that allow them to interact with friends, family and co-workers. Some of the more popular applications are MSN, Yahoo, Google Chat, AIM etc. so with that in focus it seemed a like a pretty good idea to stay online as much as possible so it was possible for Mxit and Mig33to integrate the flexibility of allowing Joe Soap to sign in with his chat accounts. Both Mxit and Mig33 allow you to sign on your MSN accounts to their chat applications.
