New Zedge design makes it easier than ever to “Free
Your Phone”
Zedge (http://www.zedge.net), the
mobile content destination with more than 9 million members, announced
today the launch of its newly redesigned website. This coincides with
the company‘s significant growth, which now
averages more than 20,000 new members daily.
Zedge.net has quietly become a force to be reckoned with since its
acquisition by IDT Internet Mobile Group (IIMG) in December 2006. It is
strategically positioned to fully harness the $12 billion mobile
advertising market foreseen by top market analysts for 2011, in addition
to reaping its share of online advertising, which is forecast to
globally reach $147 billion in 2012. The raw data alone speaks to the
popularity of the socially driven mobile content community.
