Myxer gets content onto your mobile phone

Myxerlogoheader Myxer is a widget that downloads photos, videos, and ringtones to your mobile phone. It is a platform that allows content owners to deliver content to cell phones, and make money doing it. It is incredibly simple to use...just drag and drop content from your desktop onto the widget.

Myxer formats the content to fit on any cell phone. One of the big problems with getting content on cell phones is that every phone is different, has a different screen size, and different features. Myxer takes care of all of that for you.

Content owners like music bands, photographers, or video publishers could offer their content for free or charge any price they want. Myxer provides a forum to sell content, share the revenue with the cell phone carriers, and take a share for themselves.

Myxer also creates a mobile storefront where anyone can purchase ringtones, photos, or videos. So, it is a push platform or an e-commerce platform.

Their business model is similar to ClearSpring in that they are a widget platform for delivering content. They make money by taking a small percentage of transaction revenue, or sharing in advertising revenues.

About Don Dodge

I have been in the software business for more than 20 years. I started my software career with Digital Equipment Corp, aka DEC, in the database group. I worked with 5 software start-ups over the next 12 years. Forte Software was the first multiplatform object oriented development environment. AltaVista was the first search engine on the web. Napster was the first P2P file sharing network. Bowstreet was the first web services development environment. Groove Networks was the first secure P2P collaboration platform. Now I am at Microsoft...the biggest start-up in the world... working with VC's and start-ups in the greater Boston area. The goal is to help VC's and start-ups be successful with Microsoft, and together, provide great products for our customers.
