Pitch, the social networking site I’ve been working on since last August, has been nominated for an award!

Pitch has been shortlisted for the MoMo Global Peer Awards. From the Mobile Monday website:

Pitch, the UK’s first advertising-funded mobile content provider, has launched a brand new service offering users a fully-interactive entertainment community on their mobile handsets. Bringing the Web 2.0 social networking phenomenon to the mobile phone, Pitch’s new service features instant messaging, photo and video upload and sharing as well as access to an exciting new online community. Through the new service, Pitch customers can build their own mobile home page, complete with a unique user name and inbox, allowing them to send messages to friends or groups, as well as participating in real time group chat with other Pitch members. Thus users can create and join interest groups, enabling them to stay in touch with old friends or meet new people with similar interests - all through their mobile phones. Pitch does not charge for this service, so the only costs users incur come from data charges, making instant communication significantly cheaper than sending a text through a network operator.

Woo!
