Volantis Systems has announced Feed Builder, a web-based platform that will allow mobile subscribers to manage, aggregate and design their own mobile information and content feeds. It’s iPhone compatible.
Feed Builder is designed to be provided by mobile operators, alongside Volantis’ BuzzCast product, which provides operators with the service management and delivery infrastructure for mobile information and content feed delivery. Feed Builder will fully support Volantis’ recently announced iPhone and Android clients for Buzzcast, as well as third-party and browser-based Buzzcast clients. Feed Builder can be hosted either by mobile operators or by Volantis and will be made generally available in the first quarter of 2009.
Feed Builder allows subscribers to choose from a range of pre-populated feeds and share them with others. Its web interface allows subscribers to add their own personal feeds, blogs or photo-streams, and add comments and ratings to existing feeds created either by the operator or by other subscribers.
Feed Builder includes the ability to promote “Featured Feeds” from the operator’s preferred content partners. The branding and presentation of feeds can be managed centrally by applying specific templates, both globally and per feed; subscribers can also select their own templates on a per-feed basis.
