Yamgo Enables Video Viral Marketing on Mobile Devices
24 August 2010
Yamgo, the global mobile TV network, has launched a mobile phone video viral marketing service that enables consumers to send videos to their friends without the need to download any software. This opens a new distribution method for brands to use consumers to virally spread adverts on mobile devices.
Mobile TV and video has seen a steady increase in popularity over the past few years, but sharing videos across networks and different devices has not been possible due to the different operating systems and software. Broadcasters, content owners and marketers with content published on the Yamgo network can have all their digital media encoded for almost all phones and plugged into a platform that enables it to be shared easily from one phone to another.
Video social networking sites such as YouTube achieved significant success in allowing users to share their viewing experience by sending emails with video play links to friends. Yamgo’s platform takes this concept to mobile devices using SMS text messaging and a mobile content delivery network that optimises video delivery to different phones and networks. Users recommend and share videos and live TV with each other using Yamgo’s free send-to-friend service, which aims to enable TV and video to be freely shared across the mobile Internet.
Yamgo allows consumers to share their mobile TV experience by enabling almost all mobile phones to play live TV and video links sent by friends. Whilst also empowering brands to capitalise on a creative way to engage their audience and turn consumers into marketers.
“Mobile phones were originally designed as a communication device, today they are personal entertainment platforms with the power to engage and captivate audiences. Yamgo’s technology makes mobile TV a social experience by allowing consumers to instantly share what they are watching anywhere anytime. It could be a live TV programme that you want a friend to see or a funny viral video you must share, it’s now possible using Yamgo’s mobile TV platform”, stated Yamgo’s CEO and founder Ian Mullins.
Yamgo distributes branded content and linear TV across its mobile delivery network to create a unique mobile presence for content owners. The global mobile TV and video network utilises the inherent power of mobile internet and user's networks of friends to launch viral marketing campaigns that engage users with the brand.

Android Overtakes iPhone for Watching Linear Mobile TV
6 August 2010
Android based handsets have displaced the iPhone as the most popular device for consuming live mobile TV. The Apple device, regarded by so many as the leading offering in the smartphone industry, has been overtaken by the increasingly popular Android smartphones.
Analysis of 50,000 Android and 50,000 Apple (iPod, iPhone and iPad) users on the Yamgo mobile TV platform sampled at random during July 2010 showed that Android phone owners watched 23 minutes of linear TV per session in comparison to twenty minutes for Apple operating system users. Since Yamgo’s mobile TV support for Android live TV and video launched less than three months ago the uptake and usage have been impressive and clearly shows Apple is losing its position as the number one mobile TV platform.
With Android securing twenty seven percent of the smartphone market share in the second quarter of 2010, (Nielsen Aug 2010), Yamgo believes it will become a critical platform for content owners and broadcasters to support. Introduced into the smartphone market less than two years ago, Android handsets continue to outsell iPhones and display notable growth in terms of adoption and functionality. The launch of larger screen Android phones and tablets has fuelled a rising demand amongst users eager to watch high quality live TV and video on their powerful and attractive new devices.
Yamgo’s founder and CEO Ian Mullins commented, “The uptake of Yamgo’s Android TV service has been better than expected. As the Android platform continues to grow in popularity and availability, Yamgo will play a vital role in consumer adoption of Android mobile TV. With more Android devices being released in the near future, Yamgo will increase its linear TV and on-demand programming to satisfy the rapidly growing marketing for streaming mobile TV.”
Yamgo is quickly becoming the mobile content delivery network of choice for companies that want to publish and monetise linear TV across multiple mobile devices. Yamgo is also compatible with Symbian, Windows and Blackberry operating systems.
“At a time when progressively fragmented audiences are watching live TV and video content on multiple devices, broadcasters, media companies and service providers need an easy and flexible way to distribute content across multiple handsets and operating systems. Our content delivery network makes it easier than ever for companies to reach Android users, in addition to our existing audiences that include iPhone, iPad, Nokia and Blackberry devices”, added Ian Mullins.
Yamgo Delivers Linear TV to Mobile Phones Worldwide Via Optimised Live Streaming Platform That Does Not Require an App to Watch Live TV on Your Phone
30 July 2010
Yamgo, the global mobile TV delivery platform, has announced that its mobile internet streaming technology will be powering a new global mobile live TV network allowing programme makers to broadcast linear TV and catch up TV without the need to have an application loaded onto the phone and works on almost all mobile devices worldwide.
The pioneering mobile Content Delivery Network (CDN) developed by Yamgo provides the technology (ingest, encode, hosting, management and optimised publishing) to deliver linear TV and catch up content for broadcasters, media companies and service providers allowing them to extend their brands, reach a new audience and monetise their content on phones.
Unlike the fragmented applications market, Yamgo’s live streaming solution is accessible through almost any mobile browser, so it's not limited to a particular device, operating system, or manufacturer. The solution includes the ability to stream linear TV, looped programming and long-form catch up TV which provides broadcasters, media companies and service providers with an opportunity to distribute their content to the mass market using a simple cost effective solution.
Yamgo CEO and Founder Ian Mullins added “Consumers have shown a strong appetite to consume TV on the go; Yamgo’s new live streaming platform offers content providers a low cost, mass market global reach mobile TV solution that is designed to work on almost all phones and networks that support video streaming. Our solution does not require any applications to deliver an optimised TV experience, which significantly reduces costs and on-going maintenance; however if the TV channel does have an existing app or wants an iPhone app they can simply add the Yamgo encoded stream to their iPhone application, TV widget or Android App”.
The global mobile TV network delivered by Yamgo also enables content owners to make their product immediately available to mobile customers and mobile search engines. The Yamgo solution allows the customer to interact with the content without the need for downloading any software or application. With the Yamgo favicon bookmarked on their homepage, the user is never more than just one click away from optimised live TV streaming and video on demand.
By utilising the Yamgo technology to distribute mobile content media providers can avoid the vast maintenance costs associated with applications. Adopting an application based strategy for content distribution would require individual programmers to maintain and update Apple iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Mobile, Nokia and Blackberry apps and require users to update their apps to benefit from any developments. Yamgo’s optimised streaming technique delivers a service that can rapidly innovate and refine across all platforms without requiring the user to update and download.
