Earlier today we covered a mobile social network called Buzzd, which will be featured at the music festival Bonnaroo. In this post we outline 10 mobile social networks to keep your eyes on. It's a developing field - and there are issues such as hardware compatibility to overcome - but we expect some of these services to make a big impact in the next year or two. Because, as Sarah Perez recently noted, with 975 million mobile web users expected by 2012, this is a potentially very lucrative market.

mobile social networking UPDATE: According to a tweet from Jouko Ahvenainen, this is the first review of the book.

I was fortunate enough to be sent an advance review copy of an excellent new book from Futuretext titled “Social Media Marketing”. The subheading reads “How data analytics helps to monetize the user base in telecoms, social networks, media and advertising in a converged ecosystem”.

The book is authored by Ajit Jaokar, Brian Jacobs, Alan Moore and Jouko Ahvenainen who all have a deep knowledge of this area. Alan and Jouko are both involved with Xtract as a board member and co-founder respectively, and Ajit is well known for his book Mobile Web 2.0.

MySpace and Facebook aren’t the only players in the market, either.

Although the base of mobile social network users in the US is currently small, it is growing quickly. The percentage of mobile phone users who said they accessed social networks from their handset jumped 182% from September 2007 to October 2008, according to a study conducted by The Kelsey Group and ConStat.

mobile social networking What is it about mobile devices and social networking that make them a match made in heaven? Is the urge to social-network so strong that we simply can’t wait to get home to do it? If the future is really ‘unwired’ and ‘always on’ as we think, then people will demand it.

It’s clear that the industry is noticing the compatibility between mobile devices and social networking sites. The number of people using their mobile phones to access social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Bebo has increased this year, according to new research. Researcher estimates there will be over 63 million location-based service users worldwide this year, and 486 million in 2012. Location-based mobile social networking revenues will reach $3.3 billion by 2013. By 2012, we expect roughly 18 percent of mobile users, the equivalent of 950 million users, worldwide to be accessing at least one social networking site via their mobile device.

A thoughtful piece by Colin Gibbs over at RCR Wireless News discusses the expected future evolution of mobile social networks compared to internet social networks. Expect the mobile versions to grow in popularity and usage, but a question remains about their financial viability!

Users of existing social networks are more and more frequently using mobile to access their messages and friends. Facebook and MySpace are the

This falls into the category of "amusing personal anecdotes" rather than "rigorous industry analysis". But it also reflects on the complexities of getting user experience right, and mapping telecom and mobile services onto the way people actually live their lives.

One of my close friends is, for want of a better term, "a bit of a player". Trying to keep track of the various females in his life is a fulltime job. One thing is clear though - FaceBook is pretty important to him, as is SMS, MSN, Gmail and obviously mobile voice. He doesn't have a landline, and his Blackberry is strictly work-only.

“While many adults worry that children are wasting time online, texting or playing video games, our study found that these activities have captured teens’ attention because they provide avenues for extending social worlds, self-directed learning and independence,” she said.

Tripp, an assistant professor in the College of Information, supervised research and data collection at several Los Angeles middle schools that serve primarily low-income Latino youth to find out how the students were using digital media technology both at home and at school.

When it comes to mobile telecommunications, it is often said that what works in one country, does not work in another. I wholeheartedly refute that argument. Human beings are more alike than we care to admit. We are programmed to be a “we species”—a social networking species with an innate need to connect and communicate. I often muse on the reason why SMS is ubiquitous as a communication mechanism. It is because we as a species do, in fact, constantly communicate via short messages, a behaviour that we learnt millennia ago.

That is why we are inevitably moving towards the Mobile Society, where our mobile devices become the remote control for our daily lives. Because any technology that allows us to better connect, communicate, share knowledge and information, and get stuff done will be widely adopted.

The Mobile Society is completely different to the industrial society. It requires a new logic and a new way of thinking of how to create business, civil governance, health care, and education. The mobile society is seen as both an opportunity and a threat because it signifies a reordering of business models, new flows of communication, and .....

Consumers using mobile social networks today are mainly checking messages, status updates and comments of friends rather than posting photos or comments themselves, according to a recent study by ABI Research. However, this pattern is changing as more consumers have access to better-equipped phones and social network applications that allow for easy uploading and communication.
"Today more than 60% of those who access a social network on their phone do so mainly to check for messages or comments from friends, compared to less than 30% who upload photos," says research director Michael Wolf. "Over time, however, a growing number of consumers will share photos and use social network messaging and email which will translate to longer and more frequent usage of social networks on mobile."
