How to Make New Friends on MOZAT

Happy Easter, everyone! Taking this time out to wish you a great week ahead and, at the same time, make a quick post here on simple ways on how you can gain new friends on MOZAT.

1) Enter a chatroom - perhaps the most popular venue for MOZAT users to talk to others and pave the way for private chatting. Visit one of our many chatrooms. We have different rooms for people in different places (that's because we have many users scattered all over the globe) and, if you feel like it, you can explore these rooms and find friends from other places as well.

Check out over 80 chatrooms on MOZAT today and make someone's day by sending a friendly greeting or a simple "hi".


           START A CASUAL CONVERSATION

2) Join or create a circle - join a virtual group and get to know others who share the same likes and interests as you. Now that would be awesome! Head over to MOZAT's "Services", join a circle. Check out "traveling" circle if you love to explore new places or the "music" circle if you are a music lover.

Can't find an appropriate circle for you? Create one and tell the whole community about it. You can have the chance to manage your own circle and set it as open (everyone can join), closed (requires admin approval for new membership) or secret (by invitation only). Members can set topics based on the main theme of the circle.

Alternatively, there is always the official MOZAT circle for feedback by users in Nigeria. There are updates, announcements, bug report as well as "Drop your PIN" space here. Do check out those who have contributed their PINs and make new friends today. Add their PINs and post your PIN in the circle.

3) Participate in polls - check out recently set-up polls and cast your vote. If you're interested, see where your friends have cast their votes and cast yours, too! Get to know the poll's creator. You may also create a poll on a topic or issue that interests you and find out what others think about it. Encourage the community to leave their comments and continue the interaction.

We have also identified the top voted polls, making it easier for users to see the most active ones. Exchange views with others and share your opinions with the community.

4) Discover nearby users - among all the ways enumerated here, this is the newest way to discover a friend. What's interesting is that using this location-based service (LBS) will have a greater potential of knowing a new friend and actually meeting up in person. You don't need to have a smartphone to enjoy this. Your distance will be detected based on the Java points that are conveniently spread across Nigeria.

CHOOSE THE NEAREST JAVA POINT NEAREST YOU

5) Play social games - start playing social games like Ocean Age and try to improve each time. Visit the global ranking and see how you rank against the best players. You can also try visiting others' shipyard and "start stealing". They're bound to get back at you. What a way to start a friendship!

Find out what others are saying about the game by visiting the Ocean Age circle. You have easy access to this even while you're playing. Learn from other social gamers and have fun!


             IMPROVE YOUR GAMING SKILLS

6) Explore "recent visitors" - this is the most common first interaction yet often overlooked. From your profile, you will see the ones who recently visited your profile. Check them out and return the favour by visiting their page as well. "Poke" or "add as friend", as you wish.

These are just simple ways to make new friends on MOZAT. What is your favourite? Tell us how you make new friends and your experience about it.

MOZAT 6.4.0 Improves Mobile Social Experience

Sharing a recent post from a popular blog, Techatlast, on the latest version of MOZAT and its improved features. Read on and find out more if you still haven't. More importantly, we would like you to try it out and see the difference.

***

MOZAT 6.4.0 PROVIDES IMPROVED MOBILE SOCIAL EXPERIENCE
MOZAT has recently announced the release of the latest version, 6.4.0. It basically comes with “memory issue” fixes, which most users are concerned about, and feature improvements enhancing users’ overall experience.

What makes this version stand out is the fact that there are more feature enhancements and new services that can make a basic and ordinary feature phone work like it’s packed with smartphone features. Here are some of the improvements and features that are worth a shot:

1) Social Discovery through “Nearby Users”, a location-based service (LBS)
Wouldn’t it be nice to see other users who are within close proximity to you? The “Nearby Users” now makes it possible to see others around you. From this, you can actually send a message, and once that specific user replies, he/she automatically becomes a friend. So this so-called “social discovery” works because of the Java points spread across major areas in Nigeria. You don’t need to have a GPS-enabled phone to be able to enjoy this LBS. To find out more about where the Java points are, you may check out MOZAT’s community blog.



2) @Friend Response in Chatroom
In a chatroom where it gets too crowded and cluttered with so many messages, sometimes, even before you type the name of the person you’d like to talk to, the messages and names get scrolled up too fast because of incoming messages. With the new “@” feature, you can easily click on someone’s name and your message will automatically indicate “@” followed by the person’s name. This way, it’s a lot easier to catch someone’s attention in half the time. More convenient for you, too, because all you have to do is to simply start typing your message.

Get started chatting with the @tags with your friends

3) Coloured Conversation Backgrounds in Chatroom
Again, conversations in the chatroom can get overwhelming or confusing and you tend to miss some of them. Now, 6.4.0 comes with different colour backgrounds to easily distinguish which message came from who. Light colours are used for the backgrounds keeping in mind readability of text and overall look of chatroom.

4) Clearly Defined Chatroom DetailsEven before you start chatting, you will immediately see details about the chatroom, and access basic information such as participants – like number of males and females, as well as chatroom etiquette.
5) Capability to Receive Offline Messages
With 6.4.0, you can now receive offline messages, so you won’t miss one – whether it’s important or not. This proves to be one of the most relevant features added in this version as it gives the sender the peace of mind that you would still get the message once he/she leaves it when you’re out of reach.
Apart from all these, memory issues concerning crashing and slow loading have already been fixed. So when you start MOZAT, it immediately loads, leading you to the launch pad of apps that MOZAT gives you access to on its “grid” interface. The latest improvements are geared toward improving overall mobile social experience. So it’s not just about chatroom improvements but making it a lot easier for you to reach friends, gain news ones and interact with them through MOZAT.
Give MOZAT 6.4.0 a try and download it from www.mozat.com. They welcome comments and suggestions via welisten@mozat.com or let your thoughts be heard on Twitter or on Facebook.
Updates, tutorials and basic information can be accessed from their blog.

Here’s wishing you a wonderful experience on MOZAT and more friends to come!
