With the launch of a brand new Forum Mobile Site, a user-friendly iPhone Application and a newly revamped News Channel, Qoos' latest additions are an immediate hit with Macau's online community
MACAU, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Qoos (www.qoos.com), Macau's largest, most popular information website and online community, started the year off with a bang with the launch of several new and revamped features to better accommodate the growing needs of users.
The Qoos Forum Mobile Site (m.qoos.com) made its debut earlier this month, giving users easier access to the site's popular discussion forums. The site, which automatically senses when users are accessing it from a mobile platform, immediately gathered over 15,000 page views within its first 24 hours online. Its existence was largely spread through word-of-mouth by Qoos' vibrant online community. And to get the most insider local information, mobile users can also connect to Qoos' restaurant recommendations or check out the 'things-to-do' section for over 100,000 fun tips for outings, events and excursions in Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Other popular categories accessible on the mobile site include news discussion, games, entertainment, YouTube video and photo sharing sections -- where users can also view pictures and YouTube videos.
Alongside the success of its new mobile site, Qoos has launched the Qoos Forum iPhone application -- Macau's first ever custom-made social application. The software, which allows busy users to access the forums while on-the-go, immediately became the #1 top-ranked social media app in Macau within the first week of its launch, also largely due word-of-mouth marketing within its large user community. The app allows Qoos users and readers to keep better track of all the latest topics, view pictures, YouTube videos, and file attachments, all on the forum. To check out the free app, search for Qoos in the iTunes store.
And finally, to access all the latest news in Hong Kong and Macau, users simply need to click onto the newly revamped Qoos News Channel (http://news.qoos.com). The relaunched channel has several new features, including a Greater China newsfeed to accommodate Hong Kong and Macau readers, and a set of optimized user interfaces for better online browsing and searching.
The New Year has only just begun, but Qoos is already set for an exciting start to 2012. "We are thrilled to be introducing customised iPhone applications and new sites to our users," said Mark Hammons, Managing Director of Qoos' parent company -- Ignite Media Group. "The Qoos community has been active, thriving and growing so quickly, it's great that everyone will now have immediate and more efficient mobile access to the site's features."
That's not all the Qoos has in store for this year: Coming up, Macau's premier online community website also plans to launch a new social media game.
