Locle Technology Spin-Off SocietyMail Wins Eircom Web Innovation Award 2009

We are excited to have won the Eircom Web Innovation Award for the second year running.  This year we pitched with a by-product from the Locle platform.
 
SocietyMail is an add-on for webmail systems such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and Zimbra Collaboration Suite that creates a ’social’ inbox by bringing email and social network updates into one place.
 
The IP for SocietyMail was created during the development of Locle and we plan to spin it out into its own entity with an external software development partner, in line with Enterprise Ireland’s ‘innovation economy’ strategy.
 
This will allow us to continue to focus on Locle as it builds traction.

The Ovi Store only supports Locle’s Symbian S60 3rd edition version at the moment.  However it is hoped that the store will expand its phone support to include versions of Locle designed for older Nokia operating handsets that use S60 1st and 2nd edition and S80 operating systems.
