To Poke or Not to Poke

To poke or not to poke? That is the question. What is a poke anyway?


A poke is a virtual nudge, a gentle one at that, to say hello, get someone else's attention, or to simply get noticed when you don't have anything in particular to say or aren't sure of what to say. 


So I say go ahead and poke! It's so much fun that it's simple yet it does wonders.


We at Mozat are offering different ways to poke your friends, besides the simple poking. It's called a magic poke!

MAGIC POKE SOMEONE NOW

For our avid users, I'm pretty sure that you are well aware of this feature. For the newbies on MOZAT, you have a variety of magic pokes to choose from - from giving your friend a gift, a mug of beer or greeting him or her a happy birthday to kicking, robbing or kidnapping your friend! It's so much fun!

Simply visit your friend's profile and poke. It's okay to be playful once in a while. 

So let's all send a poke, a magic poke or two and let someone we know (or care about) that he or she is thought of today. Happy poking!

Have a nice day!

3) Improved Polls Listing

The popular polls are now listed on top so it's easy to know which polls have the highest number of votes and responses. The recently created ones are under "Recent Polls" so you won't miss those either.

From this page, you can conveniently add a friend because we added the "Add Friend" feature right on the first row, first icon on the left, so you won't miss it.

How to Add Friends on MOZAT by Jide Ogunsanya of OgbongeBlog

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! 

We would like to share a useful writeup on how to add friends on MOZAT, thoroughly written by Jide Ogunsanya in his Ogbongeblog. He covered the first few critical steps after successfully downloading and installing MOZAT onto your phone, so here's the entry and hope you guys like it:

Thanks, Jide!

HOW TO ADD FRIENDS ON MOZAT CHAT APP

After you might have installed Mozat messenger onto your phone, you will have to add friends for you to chat using the Mozat app.  You can add friends by adding their Mozat PINs. If you know the phone number of your friend, you can also add the friend using his/her mobile number.

How To Get Started

==> Launch the Mozat App
==> Scroll to "Chats"  (right under the Mozat screen)
==> Select Menu.
==> You will see some options. Select ADD FRIEND
==> You will see the different ways you can add friends i.e Add by PIN, Add by Mobile Number etc

==> Select "add by PIN" if you know the PIN of the friend you want to add. Enter the PIN and select OK.
==> Select "add by mobile number" if you know the phone number of the friend you want to add.

A request will be sent to the friend and once accepted, you guys will be connected and can start chatting on Mozat.

The SEARCH for FRIENDS option allows you to search for those that are online, those that have pictures and you can also choose if it is male or female you want.

That's all.

Note: Though you can use Mozat app to chat with a Blackberry user who also have a Mozat account but you cannot add BBM PIN to the Mozat app. You can only add a MOZAT PIN.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!

MOZAT Review by Essien Ekpenyong: Why MOZAT is Better than 2GO

We are pleased to share with you a post and MOZAT review by Essien Ekpenyong, whose blog provides interesting information on the latest technology, tweaks and useful tips. 

Thanks again, Essien (Dekokoblog)!

I posted earlier about the advent of the next new thing in the world of social chating and interaction. Mozat is the next BBM. In my own view, it has these features that 2go cannot give you.

I want to write on the feature Mozat has that is advantageous to us Social network users.

1) Mozat enables you to control other social networking website like facebook, twitter. You cannot only chat with your facebook friends in Mozat but you can also update your facebook status. If you have properly connect your twitter and facebook account to Mozat, any status update you post in Mozat will be automatically updated or posted in your facebook wall and twitter page. Here, you dont need to log in to these sites, you can easily update through Mozat.Did I forgot to mention that you can also connect with your G.Talk friends in Mozat. This is a cool apps, a must have if you want to maximise your social network presence.

2) Mozat does not only optimise your social network status quo, but also enable you to save or BACK UP your contacts. It gives an easy and concise platform to easily backup ones contact incase your phone is stolen or otherwise. If you have lost your contacts, all you have to do is to use your new phone to log in to Mozat and RESTORE your lost mozat. Isn't this cool. Can you compare this services to 2go. This is why I said, it is our new Blackberry Messenger.

3) For those of us that are in love with games, Mozat had us in mind before launching because its game section is second to none in the history of mobile social network messenger.

Mozat, as I said before is a new phenomenon one needs to exploit fully. If you have not started using these services, rush now to www.mozat.com and register. Add as many friend friends as you like and enjoy the groove.

I wish you a happy chating days and a Happy Strike Ending. Cheers!
