Mixxer, the mobile content service based in Seattle (the service announced $20 million investment last June) has annuonced another change of its name. From now on the service will be called 3Guppies and it will be positioned as an embeddable content service within social networking sites.

This is the 3rd name change in 2 years, hopefully the last one (3gupload -> mixxer -> 3guppies).

The service is a one-way widget. It means that user can only download content from the service to their mobile devices, but not in other deirection, and that’s a great limiting factor. The company hasn’t announced any revenue program until now, but the service is expected to be ad-supported in the near future.
