Mobile Social Media and Networking

Mobile social media is a hot activity at mobile phones as reported at Mobile Social Media ... Usage. A whole range of social media services are available as mobile only services and more and more social networking services do establish mobile sites. The popular news rating site Digg with its mobile version is an example.

The most noticeable difference of mobile applications might be the need for the installation of software opposite to the ease of use by a mobile page and access. Mobile widgets are a further option. Personally I favour the mobile access of services as these do not depend on a particular carrier and other issues. But of course the need to install a software might depend upon the importance and purpose. In the following there are some mobile social networks introduced accessible by login at mobile pages, which are all available at FOLDEN Mobile. Further applications are available by the following external link to mobile social media.

Most useful with mobile phones might be location based information as usually one is on the go. Location based information might delivered automaticly by gps devices and applications or gathered by mobile social media. A service that is about sharing local information is Socialight. The Socialight service is searchable by locations and items. Other ways to navigate are tags like history and channels for cities. Channels may become edited by groups of people. One may find other people and login to contribute and to discuss.
