One program that we ran last April was the Globe Labs Summer of Code program. 16 students from Ateneo, DLSU, UP and SLU worked on different applications for Globe Labs. The UP team, composed of Olive Ruth Dag and J. Allen Santos, was tasked to develop an add-on for Firefox that would be able to send text messages and MMS. Roughly one and a half months later, Olive and J. Allen showed the Globe Labs team the result. We were in awe with what these two kids were able to produce in such a short time frame. Today, we’re introducing that amazing application to the world – Web2Mobile.
Web2Mobile is a Firefox add-on you install on your Firefox web browser. Once installed, it allows you to send text messages and MMS without leaving the browser window. The main benefit here is that you no longer need to pick up your phone or type using a small phone keyboard when sending out text messages – you can do it all in the comfort of your computer! Now if only the features ended with that, it would have been a great application already. However, the UP team brought it further by introducing killer features:
- Select a text from any web page and send it as an SMS – Just highlight any text on the web page you’re looking at, right-click, and then hit Send. Now, there’s no need to retype interesting pieces of information you find on the internet!
- Send any image, photo or picture from any web page and send it as an SMS – Frankly we think that this feature revolutionizes the way we send out MMS. No longer are we limited to the pictures that we take using our phone cameras, or those images that we download via our phones. Now, any image on the internet can be sent to your phone. Just right-click on the image and hit Send.
That’s enough talking. Try out the Web2Mobile add-on yourself. Click on the link below to download the add-on to your computer. Then drag the file to your Firefox window to install it.
Update: A new version of web2mobile has been released. The updated release offers several improvements:
- Fixed time-out issue of the plug-in.
- Resolved application using non-standard http ports.
- Fixed to comply with Firefox add-on guidelines
- Updated UI.
