New Zedge design makes it easier than ever to ‘Free Your Phone’
NEWARK, NJ (--May 13, 2008--) Zedge (http://www.zedge.net), the mobile content destination with more than 9 million members, announced today the launch of its newly redesigned website. This coincides with the company’s significant growth, which now averages more than 20,000 new members daily.
Zedge.net has quietly become aforce to be reckoned with since its acquisition by IDT Internet Mobile Group (IIMG) in December 2006. It is strategically positioned to fully harness the $12 billion mobile advertising market foreseen by top market analysts for 2011, in addition to reaping its share of online advertising, which is forecast to globally reach $147 billion in 2012. The raw data alone speaks to the popularity of the socially driven mobile content community.
Zedge Metrics (as of 5/8/08):
. Average new members per day: 20,000
. Total membership: 9+MM
. Total items in content library: 1.3MM
. Content items downloaded per day: 1MM
. Content items uploaded/created daily: 50,000
. Unique users per month: nearly 5MM
. Monthly Page Views: 330MM
“The newly streamlined Zedge.net makes it significantly easier for the users to find and get what they want, connect with one another, and create and share content,” said Zedge President and co-founder Tom Arnoy. “The new Zedge is a simpler and fun experience, and this is the first of many significant upgrades slated for Zedge.”
The primary benefits of the redesign include a superior site architecture and visual design, providing clear, simple and quick navigation to the content, tools and profiles available on Zedge.net. It features a revamped menu structure, a straightforward top-level index, tabbed browsing of site content and member profiles, greatly expanded member account options, improved search capabilities, and a clearly defined iconography, color scheme and nomenclature.
“The Zedge redesign makes it easier than ever to ‘Free Your Phone’ from the world of premium mobile content and services,” said Zedge Chairman and CEO Moshe Berger. “The Zedge team has built a unique cross platform destination for mobile content, self-expression and community. Zedge is the premier place for totally free mobile content.”
