10 Dec, 2006, 2:00 pm IST | Sharon Khare | Windows

Hobnobster, yet another web and mobile social networking (and bookmarking service) has been launched. Hobnobster is the brainchild of San Francisco-based company, Feedtext.


The site allows individuals to message, mix and mingle with individuals of their choice and stay connected even when on the move via text-messaging.

"Our aim is to diversify our services in order to accommodate the demand that our market necessitates," shares Vince T. Yamat, Founder of Feedtext Inc., "acknowledging an individual's need for mobility and addressing a person’s ability to stay in touch are the two core ideas that serves as foundation for all our products and services."

Hobnobster allows users to send 'Icebreakers' in the form of a Hobnobster smiley, hug, flower, anonymous and personalized text messages. The company maintains that Hobnobster has not overlooked the issue of privacy — the application will allow members to block messages from unwanted members.

"Hobnobster provides a great way to connect and communicate with select peers, allows our subscribers to brand and promote their own profiles, and offers unique and clever ways to interact with the use of active contact features, complete with web and mobile options, found on the application." Yamat adds. "It gives you the option to keep track of the profiles, which you've found interesting, and bookmark them for future or immediate communication. These bookmarked profiles will be visible to your contacts and visitors. You'll be able to keep track of profiles that have sent you anonymous messages or, even better, you can make use of the Unmask feature of the application to reveal his or her identity. With all these features, you'll come to see that it's fun and safe!"
