We have mentioned our latest project a couple of times since February, but I thought it was time for another update on SocialTones (Gravatar for RingTones built for Google’s Android phone platform).  We had an full team meeting on Friday to talk about the development of the application.  We settled a few outstanding issues such as the ‘infinite contact quandary’ and our various ideas for monetization.  Our current goal is to have the application ready for the first Android phone (mfgr’s, contact us if you want to work together).

Over the past three years we have delivered cool and innovative social applications to clients like Lego, FX and TechData.  While our applications were cool and innovative, our business model was stuck in the past, well not anymore!  I am pleased to announce that Big in Japan’s new development model is 100% free.  Got an idea for a cool application for your business?  Simply provide the plans to Big in Japan and we will build it, host it and manage it for free!  What is the catch?  None.  We will do it all for free.  This new pricing plan is effective today, April 1st, 2008.  If you want to learn more, call 214.550.2003 and ask for Alex.  Cheers!
