Hot on the heels of Facebook, Mobango, a mobile social network that allows members to publish, convert and share user generated content for their mobile, have released localized versions in German and Spanish.”The launch of the site in German and Spanish marks an important stage of Mobango’s development. Those are key markets that will contribute substantially to the global growth of our community,” says Fabio Pezzotti, founder and CEO of Mobango.

Mobango’s office in Munich is headed by Anton Zur, who has worked with Mobango since the launch of the global service in 2006 and who has contributed significantly to the growth of the product features. The Country manager for Spain is Paloma Furones who has worked with Mobango since the very beginning.

“We have targeted Germany as it is one of the largest European mobile markets with 97 million subscribers. According to ComScore 34 percent of Germans are also using mobile internet services, the highest rate in Europe,” says Anton Zur.

“The localization of Mobango for Spanish speaking users will allow us to expand beyond our already global platform to make it even more relevant, accessible and interesting for Spanish and Latin American audiences,” says Paloma Furones.

Mobango users can now access the mobile site in their supported languages through any mobile device with Internet access. To sign up for Mobango, German and Spanish users can go to www.mobango.de and www.mobango.es.

With an Q107 investment of EUR2million from Doughty Hanson, I guess that Mobango will soon be trawling the markets for more cash.
