Widset Pets: Report of the Week II

Consumed by S60 - June 25th, 2008 - Written by Daniel Shugrue

This week’s report comes from karishmasingh:

I’ve been addicted to Facebook since the time I joined it but its now,after the s60 widsets pets campaign that I have added the application there on Facebook.When I read about the campaign,the first look of it seemed extremely cute.After adding it in my profile,I created my pet which is named as “Mini Karishma” now and I immediately sent an application request to all my friends and the very next day,I had my inbox full of messages asking what I was upto and why a pet lover like me crossed all limits of crazyness.
I explained to them that how I am an S60 ambassador and it’s a part of the s60 campaign as widsets pet application can also be enjoyed using the s60 devices.I asked them to try it once as I knew that it would be enough for them to fall in love with the whole idea just like me.
What we all really loved about it is that the look of the pets depends on how they are being taken care of. Like one of my friend has not been given a bath since his mini version is born and I could see flies in his avatar(p.s.-Mini Karishma has none around her lol).I hope thats not true in reality brother as its been really long.!
Another thing that makes me smile is the automatic statements attached with every action that shows in the mini feed of the widsets pets application.
They are not the boring usual feeds saying what has been done rather add to the next.
For example whenever I am offered a hamburger the message says - Mini Karishma wished there was more ketchup on it!
Gosh these guys know me so well !
But I just fell in love with this message- “Somebody has held Mini Karishma’s hand. Mini Karishma is looking at him with puppy dog eyes”.Which was powered by widsets mobile.*blush blush*
I never knew s60 could be this romantic lol, thanks widsets mobile ;-) So somehow it does get the truth out.So know we know why I was so sure that with just one try they’ll get addicted to Facebook which even helps me now days as I am not the only one who is online all day long.But theres one slight problem,my inbox is again full of messages but this time to thank me for offering them with something like this and my reply is short and sweet which says “What are s60 ambassadors for and could you please help us join it :-)”.

Thanks karishmasingh. Please contact Kristina so that we can get your loaner N82 out to you!

Widset Pets: Report of the Week

Consumed by S60 - June 18th, 2008 - Written by Daniel Shugrue

The S60 Ambassador campaign for Widset Pets is now underway. Our first ‘Report of the Week’ comes from old friend kukalubo. Kukalubo is finding a gender preference for the widset pet but that hasn’t stopped me and Ricky from creating our own.

Anyone else notice that Phil and Saara seem to be the only Pets that don’t have flies buzzing around them? I have my conspiracy theories…

Anyway here’s the word from Kukalubo:

As I am not very much into the whole facebook thing, I added a person just a few weeks back. Since then every morning I receive e-mails that someone wants to add me as a friend. Really annoying, but the people really are friends. So now I have more than just one facebook contact.

And naturally I started sending Widset Pets invitation to everyone. I often received comments like ‘what’s this?’ and I started explaining. But yesterday I found the perfect way to promote the Pets project. It works great on girls, by the way. Maybe that’s because they see pets as something only a girl would do, I don’t know. Back to the point - I previously explained only the idea of widset pets. But since the other day I started sending the cute little captions that you get after doing an action to an adopted pet. I received much more positive feedback. Seems like girls really love the captions. Some of them they found a bit too sweet, others not so smart, but the majority of captions I sent they loved. A smashing hit became the following - “Mini Bistra believes that if she can’t see Lubomir, Lubomir can’t see her either.” All those captions were commented and laughed at. Seems like I was in the center of that whole thing, because I was the one that introduced widset pets to everyone. I told my friends that as a s60 ambassador I know that a whole bunch of great guys are behind that project and that they shouldn’t be surprised by the fact that the captions are hilarious.

When I went to school yesterday, one of the girls in the class (Ivon, girls are two times less than the boys in our class) came and thanked me for telling her about Pets. My reaction was to tell her that it’s my duty to tell people about it, because I’m a s60 ambassador. She asked what does widset pets have to do with s60. I told her that there is a widget that you can download and do the things you do from your computer even from your mobile phone and that’s why it’s a s60 ambassador campaign. We commented another caption (”Mini Bistra refuses to believe that ’shenanigan’ is a word”) and the giggle seemed to have attracted one more of the girls - Vessy, who apparently had sent me a request to be acknowledges as friend that morning. So Ivon told her about widset pets and Vessy seemed really enthusiastic about it.

Thanks kukalubo. We have N82s to loan for the Widset Pets campaign as well. Kristina will hook you up, contact her for details!
