THE FOUR corners of Nazario Ramon Figueroa’s office are witnesses to his magic. In this room, he combines creativity with his knowledge in technical matters to produce new programs that can make texting even more fun and interesting.
Texting has phenomenally exploded in the Philippine market and this drove Ramon to venture in SMS technology and to establish a company called Frostym. This company is responsible for the quizzes, compatibility tests, and different games found in Globe Telecom’s contents.
One of these contents, Pastlife can tell you who you were in your previous life. You may be a princess or even a plant in this life and this can also tell you how you died in that life.
Another of his creations, Isitlove, can tell you if you are really in love. There is no more need for counseling and long meetings with friends to know if what you’re feeling is true. Your cell phone can now tell you. By simply responding to the questions that they would send you, you will immediately get the answer to the big question: Is it love?
For those who find thrill in knowing what may happen in the day, Pom created Fortune Cookie, which content tells the user his/ her fortune for the day.
The company also offers quizzes on how much you know about love, kissing, trends and sex. By accessing these contents, you can both play and learn.
These programs in SMS marks innovation, and Pom succeeded in this field. After all, the game of this era is all about computers. And having the talent in computer programming is like hitting the jackpot.
Pom’s world revolves around computers, cell phones, commands and codes. He has no choice but to innovate. But with the continuous development of technology, and with the constant growth of texters all over the country, the death of texting is sure to be far from now, and this also goes with Pom’s SMS tech business.
Texting now is no longer li-mited to communication. Thanks to companies such as Frostym, it can now be a gadget of games and quizzes which doesn’t need another person for it to work, making a friend out of our cell phones. Lutchie Anne C. Coral
