The secret to mobile social networking

Collective Knowledge:
Share stats out to the network: Making me more informed about what my friends are up to helps me filter out the noise. Call logs playeverystockphoto-nasa-space-77472-l.jpg into this while so does music activity. Help me discover new things and new people.

Hierarchy settings: Help users figure out a way to define who are the connectors in my network, who are the idea generators, who are the leaders and who are the followers. Given where people fit in, their knowledge should influence friends differently. This should be accounted for in the network — it is in real life.

I haven’t focused on the concept of mobile network as extension of a web-based network. I think the device used in a mobile network is still so different from a PC that the interaction on a mobile network will require structural differences. Facebook will make a better mobile version but I think there is an opportunity to create a stand-alone mobile social network.
