Geodesic and Gothenburg Post, a daily newspaper from the Stampen Group, Sweden have launched GP-Qrir, an interoperable Instant Messenger on the desktop and mobile platform. This will enable Qrir users to receive regular and constant news updates through this IM platform. The launch of GP-Qrir powered by Geodesic technology forms a part of GP's overall business strategy to Increase its reach by deploying user-friendly and innovative technology.

 

Gothenburg Post (GP), a leading daily newspaper in Sweden, is published by the Stampen Group, Sweden's second largest publishing house. The newspaper is over 150 years old and commands good readership and excellent brand equity, particularly in the western region of Sweden. The Stampen Group has a turnover of 447 million USD, with GP contributing 37%.

 

To quote Mr. Ricard Robbstål, Head Sales and Marketing, Göteborgs-Posten, "Information (News) and instant communication leads to real time collaboration  and  the combination makes a lot of sense. The youth today prefer 'news push' to 'news pull'. Today, the value of 'news' is vastly enhanced by the speed at which it reaches the users and the ability to act or react upon it. For a GP-Qrir member, News will be delivered to GP-Qrir members as it happens, while the member is logged on to the GP-Qrir IM. The member can discuss the news and its repurcussions with his/her group at that very instant. This is more than live news. This is interactive news."

 

"We are going beyond real time communication and just news," added Mr. Robbstål, Göteborgs-Posten. "We are looking at a growing GP community and a better bonding between the members with cost-effective communication that can flow across the two key media -internet and mobile telephony."

 

A unique feature of the GP-Qrir is its 'interoperability' across different messengers. This cross-network interoperability enables you to communicate with all the major IM service providers in the world like Microsoft, Yahoo and AIM etc through a single user interface. All the features such as cross conference chats, share files and pictures are accessible through the same interface.
