Current selections include “Battleships” and “Quadrix,” with additional games forthcoming.* Photoblogging: users can store and tag photos in the qeep server, which can then be shared with all other users. * QMS: qeep’s alternative to SMS. Messages are sent through a proxy server.* Sound Attacks: this feature is a database of humorous sound files that can be sent directly to friends’ phones.
