WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Networks Offers Fans a Way to Join Baseball's Fiercest Rivalry, to Taunt And to Talk Trash
NEW YORK--Oct. 11, 2004--
-- Red Sox Ready for the Team America Loves to Hate
-- Yankees Fans Go Mobile in their Derision of the Boston Choke Sox
Upoc Networks (www.upocnetworks.com), the leading mobile data services provider and creator of North America's premier mobile community, Upoc.com, announced today that it has launched a community channel that allows Yankees and BoSox fans the ability to lend mobile support for their hometown team on the eve of the American League Championship series.
Upoc Networks recognizes the unique rivalry that exists between Red Sox and Yankees fans and wanted to provide its users with a way to integrate mobile messaging into the debate. Upoc.com members can opt-in to the BoSox vs. Yanks channel and they will instantly have the ability to join other Yankee fans in a mobile chat group that will allow them the opportunity to taunt and trash talk with BoSox supporters. The channel will also feature interactive polls where members can vote on key events in the league championship series.
The messaging exchange, thus far, has been as contentious as can be expected. For example:
From dfree: Sox r like Yassar Arafat: they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
From gilgunn: The yanks r like ur momma fat and over-paid!!!
From k-diggity: My mother could start at 2nd base for the Red Sox.
From nvcbl: 1918! 1918! 1918! I could do this all day!
From jjhow: 1918? Add ten zeroes and u have the yanks payroll- the second best team money could buy.
The channel is open to all of Upoc's 1.5 million mobile community members and enables them to interact safely and anonymously without giving out their phone numbers and regardless of their mobile carrier. For more information, visit www.upoc.com/soxvsyanks.
