Communication has been turned on its head since the turn of the century and it is clear that the bulk of it now happens either online or through mobile devices. For this reason Skillpod Media has worked feverishly on their development of both mobile and online games platforms.

The mobile games platform is what brings together a selection of games into a mobi site which visitors can play the games on. Using the platform you are able to grow your own mobile community. There are loads of social elements integrated into it that makes it possible for players to interact with one another.

To get started players can register through the site or they can use their Facebook Connect or OpenID to log in. From there they can then create custom avatars for themselves and move on to playing the games. There are a number of multiplayer games that players can play against other players on the network. This fits in nicely with the integrated chat which allows players to chat through the system at any time.

Players will also not get lost along the way as there are various how to guides to help them through games that they haven't played before. There is also enough opportunity to fee their competitive spirits. There are tournaments that can be set up and high score leader boards where players can aim to get to the top of them. Players can also work to get exclusive badges, which are only available to players who play regularly and get very good at certain games.

The micro payments is one of the most attractive features for site owners. Players will buy pods, the virtual currency on the mobile platform, with these payments. The pods are used in many different places throughout the site. The tournaments on the site require an entry fee of a couple of pods and the first three positions at the end of the tournament will each win a share of the pods as well as some trophies.

If players want to really improve the way their avatars look, they can do so by purchasing exclusive items using their pods. There are also power ups that can be bought in certain games using pods, which will help players to get through some difficult sections in games. In terms of advertising there are interactive post game screens that can be managed using the extensive back office tools. Extensive reporting is also available to help in tracking purchasing, fraud, demographic, registrations and host of others.

There is no arguing or wishing away the mobile market. It is here to stay and it has become the primary form of communication for a whole generation with the rest catching up quickly. Making use of the mobile games platform is an opportunity for any company to get actively involved in the moble market.
