US-based software company VietTech Corporation unveiled the beta version of a social networking and microblogging site PingGadget.com and a new version of MyWorldvn.com, an educational and community website, at a press conference in Ho Chi Minh City Friday.
PingGadget allows users to communicate with one another, stay connected to what is going on around them, and build custom groups specific to their location and interests.
The microblogging site has image and video uploading capacities of 1 MB and 8 MB.
It features jobs, classifieds, events, nightlife, music, and volunteering opportunities at various locations but does not have a platform to support blogs.
“We’re just getting started and this beta release formally kicks things off. We plan on working closely with our users over the next few months to gain valuable feedback and maintain a strong innovation schedule for the platform,” Nguyen Minh Tri, president and CEO of VietTech and co-founder of MyWorldvn and PingGadget, said.
“[Later] we will add some applications suitable for Vietnamese users.
“In Vietnam, social networks are becoming a daily habit. These sites help users connect with each other and share things easily anywhere and anytime.”
PingGadget launched in the US last month.
MyWorldvn.com is a popular social and educational networking site among high school and college students and young professionals in Vietnam that Tri launched in 2007.
It has 220,000 members and attracted more than 10 million hits.
MyWorldvn.com provides access to English learning, news sharing, information, blogs, images, music, and social clubs.
Both websites are free and in Vietnamese.
