Media and Publishing companies need a vehicle to connect their readers and virally spread their content to a wider and demographically diverse audience to compete in this era of real-time information from alternative media sources. Mundu offers Media and Publishing companies an Instant Messaging based platform on the Web, Desktop and Mobile to grow, build and monetize their communities.
Two events are converging which is prompting Media companies to look at Instant Messaging more strategically than ever before.
Firstly, online news readership is increasing with one-in-three regularly getting their news online (Source: PEW Research Center). Newspapers and other Media are facing a stiff challenge from alternate media sources like Blogs, and alternate access points for content like mobile phones and iPODs.
Secondly, Instant Messaging has become the preferred mode of communication for online users. comScore Media Metrix has identified that more people are using IM to communicate than Email. The PEW Internet and American Life Project states that 78% of teens between 12-17 years access news online and 75% of online teens and 42% of online Adults use IM for communication.
Mundu provides Media and Publishers a platform to connect their readers on the Web, Desktop and Mobile through Instant Messaging. Online users interact by sharing links for web pages and articles
through IM (50% of online teens use IM to do this: PEW Internet Research). With Mundu IM integrated with news and content sites, online readers will find it easier to broadcast an interesting article to a group of buddies and then discuss that article and content with them over IM. This increases page views, prompts readers who found the referred article interesting to come back for more content to that site and further refer the article and website to their IM buddies.
