Orange gets Social Life

Orange has announced the launch of Social Life, a mobile social networking aggregator that brings together activity on Facebook, MySpace and Bebo in one central place.

Accessible from Orange World, Orange’s mobile internet portal, Social Life allows customers to view and post updates and get in touch with friends and family across all three social networks at the same time through a single log in.

Available to all Orange mobile customers, the Social Life home screen allows users to upload photos, update their status, keep track of friends’ status updates from all three top social networks, plus send and receive messages and more.

Customers have full control over which information they provide to each of their social networks; they can update their status and upload photos to some or all of them through the Social Life home screen.

Social Life also allows customers to keep on top of social network activity through SMS, with the ability to set up free text alerts on specific social network activity and send updates via text.

Offering access to Facebook, Bebo and MySpace from launch, the service will also look to incorporate more social networks and Web 2.0 sites in 2009.
