Toronto, Canada (PRWeb) June 27, 2007 - Wattpad, the global leading story sharing community for mobile users, today announced that it has served over 10 million pages to mobile phones.

"In April 2007 we officially introduced the service for mobile users worldwide to discover, read, and share stories on their mobile phones. We are extremely happy that we grew from zero to 10 million in a very short period of time," enthused Ivan Yuen, Founder of Wattpad. "With over 60,000 user-generated stories already available to our community, we have definitely reached critical mass for the next phase of growth. A recent user survey indicates that 93% of our users are satisfied with the user experience, we are very proud to achieve significant growth while maintaining high level of user satisfaction."

With mobile phone being the electronic device most people carry all the time, these stories are now instantly accessible by anyone anytime anywhere - whether you are reading short stories at bedside, reading funny jokes while commuting in the underground or viewing lyrics while listening to music on your mobile phone.

Wattpad Story Sharing Community is like the text version of YouTube with a Digg style system that uses tags, categories and voting to determine the popularity of stories. All the stories are contributed by Wattpad users. Joining the community is free. Anybody can signup and upload whatever he or she wants to share - a short fiction, an essay or a joke, and then read it on mobile phone using Wattpad Reader or send it to friends via SMS. Wattpad Reader is a small ad-supported Java ME application which let users download and read stories available in the Wattpad community.

To download Wattpad Reader, go to m.wattpad.com on your mobile phone's browser and follow the link to download. Wattpad Reader works with most mobile phones from major manufacturers such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG, Sharp, Sanyo, Panasonic, BlackBerry and many more.
