How to Add Your Twitter Account on MOZAT

Here's another quick tutorial on how to integrate your Twitter account with MOZAT. From your Java phone's grid view, click on the Twitter icon.

 

Enter your Twitter name and password. Make sure that the box below the password is ticked. You have to "publish your status to your Twitter account".

Once this is done, whatever you type on your MOZAT status (on the "What's happening?" space) will be tweeted to your followers.

You will have access to your timeline as well, perfectly combined with the updates feeds from your friends on MOZAT and/or Facebook (if this account has already been intergrated with MOZAT).


Hope this quick tutorial helps. Feel free to let us know of your comments or suggestions on how we can improve MOZAT better.

We would love to hear from you.! For comments and suggestions, drop us a mail at welisten@mozat.com or let us know your comments in our official circle within MOZAT: MOZAT Nigeria Feedback.

Discover MOZAT Users Around You

It's Friday once again and allow us to wish you a great weekend ahead. But before you make plans for Friday night or the weekend, here's a quick entry to remind you, once again, of some improvements that we made on MOZAT. These are in addition to what we announced a couple of days ago about the improved chatting experience in the chatroom.

First off, we are proud to announce the availability of a location-based service called "Nearby Users" for Java users. This lets you see other users near you, eventhough you are not using smartphone or a GPS-powered phone. We are thrilled for you to try it out so please do and let us know what you think.

In order for your to detect users that are close to you, you got to be near or within what we call the Java points across Nigeria. These are the following points:

Benin University, Benin City
Bower's Tower, Ibadan
Central Bank of Nigeria, Abuja
Emir's Palace (entramce), Zaria
Enugu White House, Enugu
Hussey College, Warri
Ilorin Central Mosque, Ilorin
Kano Railway Station, Kano
Lagos King's College, Lagos
Maiduguri Government House
Ogbomoso Stadium
Port Harcour Town, Port Harcourt
Rancher's Bee, Kaduna
University of Calabar, Calabar

To have an accurate "social discovery" you have to be within 50km radius of any of these Java points and you will see users near you. You can freely send them a message and when they reply, you are automatically friends. If you are within a Java point and it doesn't work, try redownloading MOZAT and overwriting your existing version.

YOU WILL SEE THE JAVA POINTS AVAILABLE TO YOU

DISCOVER USERS NEARBY AFTER CHOOSING AN APPROPRIATE JAVA POINT

SAY HI AND SEND A MESSAGE TO THE USER OR VIEW THE PROFILE

Go ahead and make new friends. It's a fun new way of discovering new ones that are geographically close to you.

Another thing is the offline message. You can now receive messages even when you're offline so you don't miss a thing - whether important or not.

RECEIVE OFFLINE MESSAGES ONCE YOU GO ONLINE

So, these are all for now. Catch you again soon. Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Improved Chatroom Experience on MOZAT

We are pleased to let you know that we are slowly but surely improving our chatrooms so that you guys can have a good overall experience. These are the latest improvements:

1. @Friend Response - when you're in a chatroom and messages are scrolling up fast, you also want a way to respond to a specific message fast and not miss it. Now we made it easy for you to reply by simply clicking on the sender's message. The "@" sign will appear plus the name of the sender so you can immediately type in your reply without having the need to indicate the name of the message sender. It saves time and it's pretty easy!

QUICKLY RESPOND TO A SENDER WITHOUT TYPING IN THE NAME

2. Chatroom details are clearly indicated before you start chatting. You will clearly see how many participants are there in a chatroom. And of course, there's a short reminder on chatroom etiquette. We are all encouraged to be nice. :)

MORE ORGANISED CHATROOM DETAILS

3. Coloured backgrounds - We implemented this change so that it's easy to read messages from different people. It's easier to keep track of conversations and more fun to chat, too!

COLOURED BACKGROUNDS FOR EASY READING 

We hope you'll have even more fun now that we've implemented these changes. Don't forget to upgrade your version to the latest by downloading the latest client from www.mozat.com and overwriting your existing version.

Have fun making friends in the chatroom!

MOZAT Review by Jenuwa Efemena: The New BlackBerry Messenger?

The PIN is your identity on MOZAT. It's unique and your access to a world of new friends, games, instant messaging, social sharing. We've seen in quite a few forums that users are actually encouraging their friends or other users to drop their PINs there so they can communicate. Cool, huh?


In some posts and comments, users refer to MOZAT as the BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) for Java phones. 


We don't care how you refer to it because we're just glad you are using it to communicate with your friends no matter what phone you're using. So here's a review by Jenuwa Efemena on what he thinks of MOZAT's messaging service.

MOZAT Review: The New BlackBerry Messenger?

This new social IM app is skyrocketing to be top amongst strong competitors ininstant messaging like 2go, WhatsApp, Nimbuzz, BBM, eBuddy, etc. It keeps gaining more users each day because of its amazing features. It has MSN chat, Facebook chat, Yahoo chat, Gtalk(google talk) and its own chat; where you get to add friends who use it with their pins, phone number or chat nicknames. So the word 'Pin' or 'Ping' is no longer restricted to blackberry users alone. 

Mozat also displays your friends' facebook and twitter updates which is one feature that made me fall in love with it instantly. Hence, you get to be everywhere from just a single app.

Just like the blackberry messenger, it runs in the background of your phone and alerts you when a new message comes(this feature is not available for java phone users). You get to view display pictures but you can't save one's picture as it is on bbm. You can also send/receive image, video and audio files.

Another awesome feature Mozat has is the 'Broadcast' feature where you can send a particular message at once to all your contacts. You will get blocked from sendingbroadcasts if you use it recklessly by sending too many. There is a 'Nearby Users' option which uses your location(network assisted) to suggest friends on Mozat that are close to you. Suprisingly, this feature works perfectly.

It also features 'Contacts Backup'. Mozat synchronises the contacts on your phone memory with their server and backs it up for you. The numbers can be retrieved at anytime anytime.

The RSS Reader feature collects news in the background and pushes the updates to you when there are new messages coming. You can also share with your friends with just a click. It has various chat rooms where you get to meet cool and interesting people. Its strength over the rest chat apps is that it combines all their features together. Another advantage is that it is available on all platforms; Java, Symbian, Blackberry, Android, iOS and will be available for Windows phones soon.

Mozat App is not so refined. Maybe its just me, but I do find the alert sound very annoying, although it's at its early stage and all flaws will be rectified in future updates.

Mozat is the next big thing in instant messaging! Do visit www.mozat.com, download the version supported by your mobile phone and get pinging!!!
