Fetchplus (Singapore)

Fetch Plus’ product, FetchFans, is an interactive custom brand design engine built for commercial use that designs templates for Facebook, Twitter and blogs through a three-step process. This allows companies to update their pages with messages, new offers and promotions quickly in order to always be in contact with their customer base.

While there are a lot of photo apps out there, these apps only focus on allowing users to share their photos on more popular social network sites like Facebook and Twitter. Jellybus aims to fill in the gap with qbro. qbro is an interesting and easy to use photo app that also allows users to share their photos on more localized social network sites such as Cyworld and me2day.
