The
after-lunch session included presentations from five speakers, including
Jennifer Lewis from Stomp, a digital media project of the Singapore
newspaper The Straits Times. Stomp
has made the unusual promise to upload every image that is sent in from users –
leading Lewis to remark on the levels of ‘loser-generated’ content. She says Stomp
is proving to be an effective way of mobilising citizen content in Singapore,
while helping to boost the newspaper’s brand within the youth demographic.Francisco
Cordero from Bebo presented on the rise of his company’s social media networking
platform and the opportunties for the distribution of entertainment content, while Martin Hoffman from recently-listed company Loop Mobile talked
about the Moko mobile social networking platform. Loop’s
Moko platform takes advantage of the higher penetration of mobile phones over

while many companies are focused on rich media, it is important not to forget
what has worked – namely, SMS.
