mobi2weet on facebook!

Here you go, the step wise procedure to use our newly launched mobi2weet FB application. Hope you like the new look and get used to the interface quickly :)

Register

You’ll be required to enter your mobile number, gender and date of birth.

 

 

Then you will have to allow 4-5 permission pop ups. 

 

 

Once registered, you’ll reach your wall.

Here your friends' posts will be displayed and later, when you join channels, their posts will be displayed as well.

From the text box, you can post a message to your FB wall, twitter wall and any selected channel from the drop down (only joined ones will be visible) 

If you’re a twitter user, you’ll see a checkbox of Twitter as well. By checking the check boxes of Facebook/ Twitter and selecting a channel from the drop down, you can post messages on these channels by posting a single message update here. 

 

 

 

Feature 1: Points on Profile:

You can fill out your profile and gain points! If you fill out your entire profile, you’ll get more points.

 

Feature 2: Facebook and Twitter Friends

Here you can see a list of your friends, both Facebook and Twitter friends. If you haven’t registered for our twitter service from the website (http://login.mobi2weet.com), then you’ll have to register from there to view Twitter friends.

Here you can turn on/off notifications of selected friends. You can also update your friends to synchronise this list with the Facebook and Twitter accounts, incase you’ve added more friends or deleted some from those accounts. 

 

 

 

Feature 3: Increase score by Inviting Friends

You can invite your facebook friends to use mobi2weet’s facebook application. Once they join mobi2weet, they can participate in channels, which are groups on which you can communicate to the whole group with a single message to mobi2weet. 

Notice the points in the next screen, after inviting some friends. In one go, you can invite 15 friends. 

 

 

 

Feature 4: Channels

You can create a channel, which is either private or public.

Everyone can see the public channels and join them. Private channels will only be joined by the friends you invite to that channel via sms command: invgrp <groupname> <frndsNum1>, <friendsNum2>. (You can write upto 12 cell numbers to invite.) You can see your created channels in ‘My Channels’.

Channels can either be 1-way broadcast channels or 2-way communication.

1-way broadcast: Only the creator can send a message to its members, no one else can send a message on a 1-way broadcast channel.

2-way communication: Every member in a 2-way broadcast channel can send messages and it will be received as an sms by all members of that channel. 

 

 

 

See the list of channels to join: 

 

 

 

Click on view to see details and join the channel. To post messages on the channel, click on the channel name. You cannot post a message if you haven't joined it. By default sms notifs for channels are ON. You can turn them OFF via sms or this application, from Joined Channels> Mute. 

 

 

 

Feature 5: Points on Polling

       You can increase your score by participating in our polls.

 

 

Do let us know if you liked our new fb app and what we can do to improve it :) 

Happy mobi2weeting!!

 

 

Groups (Channels in the facebook application)

Welcome to our new facebook application and with it loads of new features!

Mobi2weet brings to you the exciting feature of creating and joining groups, not to mention having gupshup on them too J

To create a group and join various groups, all you need is basic registration. If you’re already a registered user of mobi2weet, using either our facebook or twitter services, you do not need to register again.

We'll have a separate blog for the facebook application, for now have a look at the sms commands: 

How to create a Group via SMS Commands:

To create a group, send the following to one of the supported numbers:

Grp <groupname>

Eg. Grp batch09 

You will receive a notification on successful creation of a group. Group names are unique so multiple groups of the same name cannot be created.

How to invite friends to a group:

To invite friends to a group you have created, send:

Invgrp <groupname> <mobile number>

Eg. Invgrp batch09 0333XXXXXXX, 0321XXXXXXX …
You can invite 12 friends to a group in one message.

How to join a group:

If you receive a group invitation or want to join a public group, use the following command:

Join <groupname>

Eg. Join batch09

How to unjoin a group:

If you want to unjoin a public group, use the following command:

Unjoin <groupname>

Eg. unjoin batch09

 

How to send a message to a group:

To send a message to the whole group, send:

# <groupname> <your message>

Eg. #batch09 Hi every1!! When are the mids?

 

To send a message to the creator of the group, send:

Msgc <groupname> <your message>

Eg. msgc batch09 sir, are you taking a class today?

 

How to stop notifications from a group:

To stop receiving messages from a particular group:

Mute <groupname>

Eg. mute batch09

 

To start receiving messages from a particular group that you had muted earlier:

Unmute <groupname>

Eg. unmute batch09

 

To stop receiving messages from a all groups:

muteall <groupname>

Eg. muteall

 

To start receiving messages from a all groups that you had muted earlier:

unmuteall <groupname>

Eg. unmuteall

 

 

How to change settings of a group:

You can have either a public group for anyone to join and participate in posting messages or a private group for discussion among friends.

By default, all created groups are public. Later you can edit their settings using a simple command.

First get to know the types of groups and message broadcast types:

 

Group Types:

1. Public Group
2. Private Group

 

Broadcast Types:

1. One way broadcast
2. Two way broadcast

 

Private Groups:

The creator has to send invitations and only those users can join who were sent an invitation by the group creator.

 

Public groups:

Anyone can join the public groups. Once joined he/ she can post messages to the group as well as receive all posts on that group by other users.

 

One-Way Broadcast:

If a group is a one way broadcast group, only the creator of the group can broadcast his message to all the members, whereas the members cannot send any messages to it. This can be either a public group or a private group.

 

Two-Way Broadcast:

If a group is a two way broadcast group, all members can send messages to it, which will be received by all members of the group, if posted to the group.

All members can choose to send a message to the group creator or to the whole group.

This can be either a public group or a private group.

 

Settings of group type:

When a group is created, by default, it is a

1. Public Group
2. Two-Way Broadcast

 

To edit settings, use the command:

Set <Groupname> <Grouptype/ Broadcast type>

 

Examples:

1. To convert the group to a private group

set batch09 pri

1. To convert the group to a public group

set batch09 pub

1. To convert the group to a one way broadcast group

set batch09 1way

1. To convert the group to a two way broadcast group

set batch09 2way

Stay tuned!!!

Njoy mobi2weeting!!!

Some of our users have been facing the problem of receiving a message "Number not registered. Please go to the mobi2weet.com and register your number". Here we'll explain why this happens. There can be several reasons for this, as follows:

1. When a user is not registered with our application and he/she sends a status message to mobi2weet. As we have two services, twitter and facebook.. some users are registered with twitter and some with facebook, and ofcourse some users enjoy the facility of both . 

Now the problem you guys were facing was that being registered to facebook only, some of you were sending status msgs that exceeded the status char limit (160 chars). A message exceeding 160 chars, as we all know, is broken into 2 or more msgs by the service providers. One message contained the 'fb' keyword whereas the other didn't, thus being processed as a twitter status message. As a result, users who were not registered to twitter were getting the message of not being registered. 

Anyhow, no worries now :) We've added a twitter keyword 'Tw' and only messages with this keyword will be processed for twitter status messages from now on. 

2. If a user is registered and has mistakenly provided the wrong number to our system. (in this case the pin code has been sent to the wrong number and registration is not completed), so be careful when you provide your mobile number at the time of registration. The number should preferably be in the format 0333XXXXXXX (e.g 03218765432)

3. Some users remove our facebook application from their facebook account. In this case our application is not able to perform any operation regarding facebook. Users who have removed the application earlier and try to use mobi2weet later will get the message "You are not using facebook services yet, please go to mobi2weet.com and click register with facebook).

The simple solution for this is to register from the website again. 

For more information on twitter registration, read http://blog.mobi2weet.com/post/2009/12/15/Beginners-Guide-.aspx 

 

Hi every1!
The new version of mobi2weet has been launched, try it out and let us know if you come across any glitches!
Status on fb and twitter will be updated faster and you'll receive the updates quicker too!

All five supported network numbers are now functional for all users i.e. you can send a msg to any number and will receive the update from any of these numbers, so its advisable to save them all by the name 'mobi2weet' :)
Mobilink: 03014402764
Ufone: 03314805098
Warid: 03219600395
Telenor: 03424015782
Zong: 03134353956

We now have the following features:

FB App features:
1. View and fill out detailed profile
2. View sms and invites stats
3. View a list of FB friends and turn notifications on/ off
4. View friends tags and edit tags for sending updates to their wall and replying to comments with a single short 'tag' instead of the whole username
Once you have saved tags for your friends, you can send msgs on their walls by using the command: fbd <tag> <message>

Initially, we had the  sms command 'fbon' which turned on notfications of ALL  your friends and you had no option of choosing. Now we have removed that command (users will get a msg 'obsolete command' if they send fbon). Now we have introduced tagging of your friends (assigning a tag/ nickname to them) and then turning notifs on/ off, writing on their wall etc, using that one word tag.  So now you can either tag and turn notifs on/off from the website OR use the sms commands:

1. fbtag @Friend Name @tag

eg. fbtag @Anwar Maqsood @anwar

2. fbon tag

eg. fbon anwar

3. To write on their wall, use fbd tag message

eg. fbd anwar Hi, how are you?

For more commands visit http://login.mobi2weet.com/ and see the examples.

Website Features:
1. View and fill out basic profile
2. View sms and invites stats
3. Invite feature to invite friends and get mobi pointss!!
(You also get points on inviting via cellphone using the command inv phoneNum)
4. View a list of all invited friends' numbers, see if they accepted the invite and resend the invites if not accepted
