Hi Anh Hung,
Thanks for the words on Mimo, and we hope you can take another look and share your thoughts and suggestions for us. To answer some of the questions:

@Simon: Yes, Mimo is heavily modified from Laconica. We also support the AGPL license.

@Kevin: SMS is free to receive, no matter how many people you follow. Updating costs 500 VND per SMS.

Good find. It will be interesting to see how Mimo differentiates from others currently in the market since most have the same basic function. One interesting feature Mimo claims is free SMS delivery. Can anyone verify if this is true?

I think Mimo must have a ‘hidden’ idea standing behind… :hopeful:

@anh Ban: about the use of HTML? I see like they’re big div fan lolz

@Simon: ya, I think it’s based on Laconia

My comment is: I have just opened Mino’s HTML source. I can make sure that I can tell a joke base on it. :”>

I’ll wait till I can see small things below your and other blogs like “You should follow me on Mino here”

“p.s. I think it’s based on Laconica” -> it’s true.

Good stuff Anh Hung, you’re the first to step up and talk about this.

It’s certainly a tough gig to try to enter this space now. I agree, Twitter has stalled in VN, and FB/Me.Zing (amongst others) have taken the attention span of users.

And, with more wifi enabled handsets (plus the prospect of 3G) the SMS play may be too late too.

But they’ve just opened the doors, so we ought to give them time to see how they differentiate and take the product forward to win.

p.s. I think it’s based on Laconica
