This week’s winner comes to us from ruslan…he had me at the title:

How Widsets Helps To ease The Lonely in your Life

I’m currently having a long distance relationship with my girlfriend (She’s doing her studies in Australia at the Moment). normally we talk each other every day. she’s kinda missed me all the time and complains about it. so when we having conversation she loved to cuddle with me. it was kinda boring to use the same techniques like web cams and Messenger through online because its the same old way doing every day. And Things got worse after my exams started (I’m an IT student in my second year) i couldn’t contact her frequently like i used to, due to my busy schedule so i used my mobile device (Nokia E51) often to talk to her (Using Voip, Fring Application, Gizmo). still we cant express anything beyond just a call because i have to stay inside my campus all the time due to my studies.

After i became an ambassador for S60 i got to know about “Widsets Pet” Application. herd that it can used to keep loved ones closer using world renowned existing community service like Facebook. so i advised my girl friend to install it on her 6120 Classic. Widsets Pet program became very handy between us. we used to share expressions among each other using Widsets pets. the world between each seem like getting closer day by day for both of us now. i can even use it inside a library since it doesn’t involve any voice communication. i have to tell you, it feels great when your loved ones around you all the time. i think widsets pet bridge that gap by implementing such idea among it’s users. i explained her that i got to know about Widsets Pet after i joined the ambassador program in S60 and show her the benefits i got it through. she was amazed about it and asked how she could joined. so i send her a invitation to her and now shes a Happy Ambassador further helping others to improve their S60 based devices using applications like Widsets Pet.

Thanks ruslan! Kristina will be in contact with you with your N82 loaner device.

The good news is that people seem to be willing to sign up for our Ambassador program. The better news is that after they sign up they seem to be willing to submit reports about their word of mouth encounters. The even better news is that we’ll need to hire another contractor to handle the volume of reports coming in. We’re looking for someone to work for us starting in September. Roughly 20 hours/week. Here’s the job description.

Each touch point will provide early access to interesting new, evolving mobile technologies and news, the opportunity to give feedback to Nokia other S60 licensees, engage them to share know-how, opinions and experiences and provide a “career” as S60 enthusiasts from “interested member” to “S60 Ambassador”.

The bad news? Well, there really isn’t any bad news to report. Unless you count the fact that my WAG has been cutting out mid-song, which kind of pisses me off. But that’s another story altogether….

Report of the Week for Widset Pets VI: Love in the Afternoon

Crazysehaj sent in a winner this week with his description of how Widset Pets facilitated a make up between him and his girl:

Last Saturday I and my girlfriend had a fight and we came to a conclusion that we will not talk to each other for times undecided. Well this was how it was to be. Our friends tried to beat the heat but things were the same. Well, it was partly my fault but being a bit egoistic at that moment I stood affirm on no talking terms instead of saying sorry. And I knew sooner or later I would have to say it someway or the other.

After a couple of days we started talking through a middle man. My friend Amu used to convey messages to and fro between us. This is when it clicked me why not have a fight and that too in style. So I told Amu to tell her to sign up for widest pets application on facebook, to which I had sent her an invite. Now Amu came up back after a few minutes ans asked that he and my girlfriend both wanted to know what widest pets application was about. So I told Amu that I am an S60 Ambassador, where I came to know about the widest pets application. All you have to do is to make a mini pet of yourself and send it for adoption to your friends to take care of you. It is so easy to use with a set of different functions you can play around with which go on increasing as you use them. From Hi five to spank to love to pillow fights its all fun. I told him that all you need is a facebook account and widsets application and you are done. You can also download all your pets to your phone and use them on the go. And that too ANY phone.

After a few hours I had a mail in my account for pet adoption and request for my pet adoption. I approved and me and my girlfriend started off with our fight and spanked each other. And slowly n slowly I expressed my feelings for her and told her that im sorry and she agreed and hugged me with a kiss. It was so amazing. Thanks widest pets, I said what I wanted to and that to in a fun way.

As for Amu, he started feeling left out when he came to know that me any my girlfriend were back together again. Poor him.

Thanks crazysehaj! Kristina will be in contact with details about our N82 loaner program.
