Social networking is the fastest growing revolution mankind has ever seen. Soon people will be so plugged into the internet that many people won’t go outside for days at a time. Is it a new world order? You decide.

Virgin media has announced that it has launched a new application called ‘Get Social’. This is geared towards its mobile customers and includes social networking and e-mail applications.

Get Social allows users to perform instant updates to twitter, Facebook, Google talk, Yahoo! Messenger and virginmedia.com. This enables people to stay in touch and up to date with their friends and social media connections at all times.

The service is initially launching on just a few mobile platforms. These platforms include the Nokia 5800, Nokia 5530, Sony Ericsson W595 the Sony Ericsson K770i. More handsets are to follow in the new year.

The company has stated that mobile Internet use within its customer base has doubled since January of 2009. This is driven by market leading data tariffs and the increasingly high-end handset usage by their user base.

Virgin media feels that Get Social will help transform the mobile experience for their customers. By bringing their favorite social networks to their fingertips, Virgin feels that they are changing the way people will use their mobile phones. By providing simple to use applications and delivering market leading mobile data rates.

Google is on an acquisition spree to boost its web services and content offering, with a sharp focus on the mobile platform. Having recently snapped up AdMob, Teracent and On2 Technologies, it now has its eyes on local business reviews site Yelp, which has been increasingly active in the mobile world recently, since its service integrates logically with the location awareness of a handset. It has a mobile version of its web site and downloadable applications for Android, iPhone, BlackBerry and Palm webOS.

According to The New York Times, Google first held acquisition talks with Yelp several years ago, but these have now got more serious, and could lead to a deal before the holiday. Yelp is said to be asking for at least $500m, according to insiders.

Now you can tweet directly from the home screen of your Nokia handset. Thanks to the addition of Twitter to Nokia Messaging for social networks. This is still in beta stage but its an important integration from Nokia's as well as a user's point of view. Majority of mobile users today, especially in developed nations and also in some developing countries, are hooked to social media that includes services like Twitter, Facebook, Orkut etc. With the addition of Twitter, Nokia Beta Labs has also enhanced the Facebook experience on Nokia handsets.

Facebook and Twitter are surely be the most popular and most influential social networks on the Internet. But Indian SMS-based social network GupShup’s 26 million members proves that sites not built and hosted from the San Francisco Bay Area can attract large audiences.

GupShup published a press release this morning claiming a user base of 26 million people, adding the claim that this makes it India’s largest social network:

Today, UK location-based networking company Rummble announced it’s launching a version of its real-time, personalized recommendations application for Windows Phone, in addition to Android and iPhone applications.

Rummble is now available on an enormous number of cell phones and can be accessed via the mobile Web as well as SMS, although it’s user base (which numbered 60,000 this summer) is currently mostly in the UK.

The service has been quietly operating for the last year or so. It combines some of the things that make Foursquare and Gowalla great, with some of what people have grown to love about applications like Yelp and Urbanspoon. It combines your friend and social graph with information about what people like and do.

A lot has been written about the seeming failure of the communications industry to capitalize on the boom in applications flying "over the top" of fixed and mobile networks. Apart from the welcome growth of mobile data revenues, the revenue generated by Web-based services like Google, Facebook and iTunes bypasses the communications players.

Indeed, many service providers see the growth of over-the-top (OTT) services as somewhat negative because carriers pick up the network infrastructure costs of keeping up with the bandwidth demands of these services, while the OTT players get all the revenue. If you're an OTT provider, the cost to play around with new business models is low -- you don't have to invest millions of dollars in something and hope it works, so you can try different things with very little risk.

Actually, this feeling of somehow being robbed by the next guy in the value chain isn't exclusive to the communications industry. If you talk to people in the music or the movie business, they too see everybody, including telecom, as bad guys invading their turf. So everyone is nervous about everyone else -- are they friends or foes?

The WSJ profiles two late-stage startups that are trying to make money by helping companies bridge that gap: Lithium Technologies and Jive Software. Lithium is backed by $21 million in funding from Benchmark, Emergence Capital and Shasta Ventures; the company’s main focus is white-label social networking, but it plans to roll out a product that ports clients’ online communities to cell phones next year. Meanwhile, Sequoia-backed Jive has raised $25 million for its own enterprise-facing social networking tools, and the company recently launched an iPhone app that gives employees mobile access to their companies’ in-house networks.

The same day that Friendster officially unveiled its site and logo relaunch, global sources report that the social network may have a new owner by the year's end, and pinpoints Tencent as one of the shortlisted companies for the acquisition.

According to reports, Friendster’s CEO Richard Kimber says the company is in the process of negotiating with a handful of primarily Asian buyers. Chinese powerhouse Tencent has been named as one of Friendster’s top suitors. Report rules out Facebook as a bidding contender due to hurdles related to competition and intellectual property rights.
