Boost Mobile adds shareable Web content

One thing we’re seeing a lot of in the cellular arena is using phones to connect people. Yes, they do that inherently, but operators are taking it a step further, mainly using data services. We recently saw Virgin Mobile add some social networking services. Now Boost Mobile is getting in on the action. They’ve already got integrated social networking. Now they’re offering shareable Web content.

The content can be found under the Community section of Boost’s website. From there, users can share articles, videos, and other Web content they think others would find useful. Already available content includes interviews with music artists as well as video and images. It also takes advantage of Boost Mobile’s surf, skate, and BMX sponsorships to deliver even more content.

We’re probably going to see a lot of this from prepaid wireless companies as they try to attract customers. There should be some added competition in the coming months and year. As people’s cell phone contracts expire they might be more apt, given the economic situation, to eschew a two-year contract and go prepaid.
