One Million U.S. Users and Climbing!

Racing past acquiring the one millionth user this week, Zlango is rapidly gaining in popularity! This week we reached the one millionth user in the U.S. only four months after launching on the Android Market.

Sending a text with just words and leaving little impact is quickly dying out as people crave a message with color and life. Zlango has created icons for almost every personality, and every holiday or popular event that you and your friends would be celebrating.

Yesterday TechCrunch took notice of Zlango and the popularity it is gaining as text messaging application. Zlango adds that extra ingredient into the mix to create maximum impact and excitement when sharing your message with your friends and followers.

As our CEO Roni Haim said when asked about the rapid growth and excitement in the U.S., he attributes this explosive growth to “our embrace of the unique aspects of American culture and our ability to provide messaging content that captures the American essence and current slang.  Whether our user is a Walking Dead fan, into girly glitz or more of a Super Bowl guy, Zlango brings them personal expression and very topical content to bring personal expression to their phone, and the messages they send friends.”

Currently Zlango has 5 million active users worldwide with 200 million Zlango icons sent globally each month through Zlango messages. Join the Zlango Revolution and start impacting your friends messages, your Facebook and Twitter updates with messages that share what you really mean!

Roni Haim also explained why Zlango is spreading like wildfire and it is the must have texting app, “It is spreading through the U.S. because Zlango is not only a fun way to text message with color and personal expression, but we invest in an advanced messaging platform and features that is superior for all messaging needs so our users can enjoy Zlango for all their messaging needs, with high-impact images, and without.”


If you’re new to Zlango you can download it now free in the Android Market and if you are a repeat texter, make sure to share the fun with your friends, and remember to update your application to have the most recent icons and skinz! http://bit.ly/ZlangAndroid

Zlango Has a Dream…

‘I have a dream!’ are the words that echoed throughout the masses on August 28, 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Martin Luther King Day was first observed in 1986, although it was not observed in all states until the year 2000. MLK day is centered on King’s birthday and took close to 20 years after his assassination to become a national holiday. It just goes to show how far we have come as one nation, people and sharing our message!
It is now easier than ever to spread your message in more than just words, but giving every word more impact!

Zlango has a dream, that all will share their message and spread the attitude to their friends and networks!

What’s your dream? Zlango wants to know! Tell us what your dream is either on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or comment on the blog, you can even use ZlangOut! (Just open Zlango, go to ‘Dashboard’ and ZlangOut’ – create your message and share on Facebook, twitter or wherever you prefer)

Celebrate MLK day by sharing your dreams with your friends and networks and spreading what you have to say and making an impact like MLK Jr.

Evolution of Text-Mas Greeting!

We might not remember our first text message, but the world should remember Neil Papsworth, the 22 year old who sent the world’s first ever SMS in 1992 that read, ‘Merry Christmas.’

Now 20 years later, with 192,000 texts sent every second, we’re celebrating the evolution of the Christmas greeting and text-messaging phenomenon with this Infographic featured on http://www.socialnomics.net/ today.

Enjoy the journey from the traditional origins of Christmas greetings B.T. (before texting), from the early 20th century when cards only cost a penny! The world made a swift change though in the 90’s with the rapid development of technology through to the e-card era. That quickly advanced from static to musical and our friends as dancing elves. . Now, that texting is more affordable than a buying a card, we mass message over hand write, remember time is of the essence.

Seeing the natural progression from the days of when cards cost a penny, to the ease of elfing yourself, and now when unlimited texting is a must, it is clear why people choose to send their mass holiday greeting as an icon and visually rich SMS! See the infographic below to follow the evolution of spreading holiday cheer!

Better make your holiday message stand out this year with 192,000 texts sent every second! Happy TextMas from everyone at Zlango!

Just another night out with your friends doesn’t mean that you have to send just another boring text!

But we all do it! Now we can look great while we answer all those texts!
