The company’s mobile applications are interesting in that they leverage public information from Facebook to customize games and create personalized content based off a user’s friends, preferences, interests and whatnot.
Mention Mobile’s apps are currently available only for iOS, but the company says upcoming apps will also be available for Android.
Founded in 2010, Mention Mobile is based in Los Angeles.
Mention Mobile is a young innovative development company that specializes in incorporating real friends into casual social games on facebook & mobile devices.
