You have many visitors (both friends and strangers) that come to visit your web site or page (whether it’s a blog, MySpace pages, Facebook account, Flickr photo pages, fan site, online photo account, site for your photography business, etc.) on a daily basis to view the photos, images, audio, and video that you have posted. Why not help them get your content to their cell phone as well? With Oomble, it is so easy - there's no need to upload your current web content anywhere else. All you need to do is put a link to Oomble somewhere on your web site or web page and that is it! As an example, we’ve “Oomblized” a photo gallery in Dan’s SmugMug account (we are fans of SmugMug):

|
To add the “Oomble this!” icon (circled in orange) to Dan’s SmugMug gallery page, we simply copied the HTML code below and added it to our SmugMug page (if you are a SmugMug user, we just copied it into the header section of the customization settings):

For Facebook users. You can Oomblize your Facebook profile by adding the above HTML code using the HTML Box application at http://apps.facebook.com/htmlbox/.
If you aren’t sure that your friends will understand what the “Oomble this!” icon is for, you can always put some text next to the icon for further explanation, such as:

If our fancy “Oomble this!” icon doesn’t suit your site or page, feel free to use a text message of your choice. For example:
|
|
When a visitor clicks on your “Oomble this!” icon, your page is automatically pulled into Oomble’s Site Wrapper browser and, so long as the visitor is a registered Oomble user, he/she will be able to drag and drop your content into a mobile queue to send to his/her cell phone (they'll be able to play around with Oomble before they have to sign up - just to see how it works):

|
|
Your visitors can even continue to surf your site within the Site Wrapper browser and find other content at other pages on your site to drag and drop to their phones. You can even specify a different page within your site to Oomblize when someone clicks an "Oomble this!" link. For instance, if you have a bunch of wallpapers on your gallery page, you can put the "Oomble this!" link anywhere on your site and your gallery page can get pulled into Oomble when the link is clicked - just add your referring page in the code below:

We’ll eventually be coming out with some automated tools for you to tell us how much you want to charge for your content and keep track of how many people are downloading your content and putting it on their cell phones. If you are getting a lot of downloads, you should think about letting us know whether you’d like to charge for the delivery of the content to the cell phone. Whenever you charge for content, our partners (the cell phone company and our mobile aggregator) will take a portion of price and you and we (Oomble) will split the rest 50/50. So, for example, if you charge $1.99 for one of your photos and the carrier and aggregator take a total 48% (a typical number), we will split the remainder evenly (about $0.52 each, per item of content). Please check back with us to see when we have launched this service.
