Welcome back!
Mobile social networking services sites, services on the rise.
Its official: social networking sites aren’t just for computers anymore. Many major companies have made announcements in the past week that they are now or will soon be offering mobile social networking services.
One such company, Visto, unveiled a new service called Visto Mobile 6 which allows you to constantly check popular social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, and others from your mobile phone to find out if any of your social networking friends have updated or changed their pages.
AT&T and Verizon have also announced new services. AT&T’s My Communites is a $2.99 per month service and Verizon’s SocialLife for $1.49 are both based on the Intercasting Corp Anthem social networking platform. Yahoo has also developed a version of its oneConnect service that will allow people to monitor social networks using their Iphone or regular mobile phone.
So what’s next for social networking? If these new apps and services become as popular as most people predict they will, social networking may become the most valuable technology-based business communication method since email. If so, look for every CEO of every major corporation to have a MySpace in the very near future.
