 AT&T Inc. has announced the launch of two new mobile applications, JuiceCaster 6.0 and Buzzwire, that keep you connected to your online world. JuiceCaster 6.0 enables you to use your AT&T wireless device to instantly share and post your mobile videos and photos with your favorite online communities, including exclusive mobile video postings to YouTube and Flickr. With Buzzwire, you can access and customize an extensive streaming media library that spans popular video and audio content, as well as live Internet radio, directly from AT&T phones. This unique application from Juice Wireless lets you share videos and pictures from your wireless device to the Web's most popular social-networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. AT&T customers also have exclusive access to post directly to YouTube and Flickr as well. Family and friends can instantly view, rate and comment on content directly from their own phones or directly from an online social-networking site. |
AT&T customers can use JuiceCaster to:
- Post mobile pictures and video to popular social-networking Web sites and blogs, including Blogger, Facebook, LiveJournal, MySpace, Twitter and Xanga
- Set their status to update automatically on Facebook and Twitter, and receive friends' status updates on their own phones
- Broadcast existing or new mobile videos and photos to global audiences using YouTube and Flickr, without requiring a computer or Internet connection
- Make content public or create custom groups by adding and connecting with friends directly from AOL, JuiceCaster, Gmail, Hotmail, MS Outlook and Yahoo!
- Meet new friends within the JuiceCaster community
- JuiceCaster 6.0 is available for $2.99 a month on compatible 2G and 3G AT&T handsets. AT&T customers can simply text Juice to 386 to begin connecting and communicating in a rich social- networking environment that includes profiles, pictures, videos, friend lists, comments, ratings and personal status updates.

Launched last month, this innovative mobile media service from Buzzwire Inc. lets you use your AT&T mobile device to access a broad media library with more than 5,000 clips, including everything from your favorite Webisodes, unique user-generated video content and other video programming created specifically for the Web audience, such as news, sports and entertainment.
Today's Buzz, which is a daily feature on Buzzwire, gives you a list of the top 10 most popular video clips on the Web. You also have the flexibility to create your own personal media channel — video, audio and live radio — and stream it to your phones with just one click. You can also bookmark any of the content in Today's Buzz for viewing at a time more convenient for you. In addition, Buzzwire not only compiles and categorizes the popular video clips in one central library, but the content is also filtered and formatted so that the viewing experience is optimal for the mobile environment.
The Buzzwire mobile media application is $4.99 a month and is available today for download via the AT&T MediaMall at www.att.com/mediamall on many of AT&T's most popular 3G handsets.
