Collecta Blog – Real-time Streaming Search

We are excited to announce Collecta Mobile is available now for the iPhone, Droid, Palm and Nokia Maemo. Simply point your mobile browser to http://m.collecta.com and you have the power of Collecta right in your hand.

With Collecta Mobile, users can begin their streaming search for any topic of interest — from SXSW and the Oscars to the elections in Iraq and MLB spring training. Collecta pushes a live stream of pictures, news articles, status updates and more right to the mobile device. As a result, people now have the power to watch events unfold in real time no matter where they are.

Launched just in time for South by Southwest, Collecta Mobile offers a real-time window into all things SXSW. Users can stay on top of whatever is said or heard across the web, whether it’s about the festival in general or any given topic, person, panel, band, movie, or party of interest. The mobile app is ideal for festival attendees walking to the next event or waiting for a panel to start, as well as for those who can’t make it to Austin but still want to stay connected.

“The web is alive. At any given moment, new content is published, news is broken, opinions are shared, and thoughts are posted,” said Collecta CEO Gerry Campbell. “Collecta Mobile delivers all the streaming real-time goodness of the Collecta.com site, but packed onto a mobile site that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.”
