You've seen them everywhere in every city on the planet. Strips of paper cut into the shape on the left, advertising any service and thing you can possibly imagine. In the age of the mobile phone and the Internets, advertising like this is total madcap insanity.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a way that you could advertise yourself or your stuff or your service to the whole of any city anywhere on earth from your mobile phone? It would mean that you didn't have to design, photocopy and then physically distribute adverts, or use those other outdated, passive and slow methods of contacting people.
Wouldn't it be great if that service sent you a text the instant someone was interested in what you were offering? Wouldn't it be great if that service kept your mobile number private, so that it didn't get plastered all over the place?
Wouldn't it be great if, like the old paper strip system, you didn't have to 'log in' to leave your message?
We have good news for you. That service exists and it is Upingme.
Upingme is 'Classified ads 2.0', 'Where Surpluses meet Needz'; a free service that allows you to post adverts directly from your mobile phone or browser without having to log in if you don't want to.
We call it Classified ads 2.0 because Upingme is real time and active, not passive; as soon as you post your message on Upingme, we send your message out to people who have what you want or who want what you needz. You can post any sort of message that you like; sell your stuff, sell your services, find a place to stay, a party to go to or anything that you can imagine.
As soon as you post your message, it is put in front of everyone everywhere, and best of all, if you decide that you want to receive instant text messages as responses, Upingme keeps your phone number secret, so that you can control who gets to contact you directly.
