We have also took some time to make some drastic changes to the Group feature.

As you know, you are allowed to create up to five groups in your channel. Once created, you can assign your followers into any of these groups. You can then broadcast messages specifically to these groups.  Only the followers of these groups will receive the messages you broadcast.  

New group interfaces:

Too many photos to share with your followers and dont want to ’spam’ them with too many shoutouts? Recently, we have upgraded our system to allow you to attach multiple photos in one single message and send the message via MMS to all your followers.  You can attach and send up to 5 photos in one MMS. When your followers receive your shoutout, they can then download the MMS with all your photos inside directly on to their mobile phones. You can send the MMS from both your mobile phone and the Pacmee website.

Screenshots of the sending multiple photos via MMS from the Pacmee website:

(1) After signing in, click on the red POST button

(2) Click on the ‘MMS’ icon if you want to send texphoto shoutout

(3) Click on ‘Browse’ button. Select your photo one at a time. You can choose up to 5 photos. When done, click on the ‘Upload’ button.

(4) Fill in the your text comments for each photo. When done, click the red POST button. All your followers will receive your shoutout asking them to download your MMS (with all your photos inside)

In a nutshell, photo shoutout via MMS has become more fun and more affordable. Isn’t it wonderful?

Yes, we hear your requests for more shoutouts loud and clear. Begining 1 March 2008, you can send as many shoutouts as you like (previously, we limited you to sending 20 shoutouts every month only).  The price remains the same at RM1 for every 20 shoutouts. Yup! You only pay 5 sen for a shoutout to all your followers. 

Now, comes an even more exciting news! We are making Pacmee cheaper and better! Begining 1 March 2008, you can follow as many people as you like at RM1/month (previously, you have to pay RM0.25 to follow each person). Yup! That’s unlimited friends you can follow to receive all their shoutouts without having to constantly worry about the escalating costs when you follow more people and whether they will send any shoutouts after you paid RM0.25 to follow them.  The RM1 fee also entitles you to receive 50 free shoutouts from all the people you follow.  If you receive more than 50 shoutouts, then you will be charged RM1 for every 50 shoutouts received.  :-)

So come on, what are you waiting for? Spread the news … Send more shoutouts… Let’s follow more people…
