trutapping at Mobile World Congress

Thanks to everyone who came to see us at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week. Around 200 people joined trutappers Carl, David, Luke and Vinny at our sponsored Swedish Beers event (no, we’re not Swedish, but yes, we like beer) on Tuesday 12th for a marathon evening of, ahem, “networking”.

trutap named "top mobile social network to watch"

In case you missed it, trutap has been been named as one of the top ten mobile social networks to watch by New Media Age magazine.  It's only 14 weeks since we launched - so we're pretty chuffed. It's always nice to be noticed ;)

Battle for The Enemy

This Monday we launched a mind-blowing campaign, which includes one of the hottest bands in the UK and thousands of crazed University students! We managed to get 10 of the largest universities in the country competing against each other to win a free gig from The Enemy, courtesy of trutap. Contestants will need to vote by sending a trutap message to the contact BFTE (Battle for The Enemy) with the name of their uni. Obviously the University with the most votes wins. It'll be a gruelling competition not to be missed! Who will win the Battle for the Enemy?
