The booming mobile social network industry

The communication industry is growing dramatically, every single person these days has a cell phone and obviously a mobile connection to make and receive calls. Businesses in this sector have experienced a boom and they are still trying to cash in from the modern lifestyle of today’s people.

Social networks are a vital part of our lives too; we spend hours and hours on our favorite social network talking to friends, checking out their pictures sharing posts etc; we feel blessed by the convenience provided by these immobile social networks I can’t even imagine how people would react to a mobile social network.

Technology is on a mission to make our lives as simple and convenient as possible and I think it is succeeding brilliantly, mobile social networks have been there for a while but their popularity is increasing only recently and for this a lot of credit must be placed upon the development of new and innovative cell phones like iphone and BlackBerry etc.

From where I can see, the use of mobile social networks will dominate immobile social networks and I believe they are here to stay.

With this article I will introduce you to a few easy to use and fun mobile social networks, starting with, “Friendstribe.com”.

This social network isn’t different from the regular social networks except that every action you take or any command you give, it’s through your text message, it is very popular amongst teenagers or people who make spontaneous plans because you can conveniently blast your location, giving your friends a chance to join you.

Next on the list is “Hobnobster”, this is an online and mobile dating site, here single people with common interests can interact with each other, many people hook up on blind dates through this mobile social network, making it very entertaining and useful.

“Groovr”, this mobile social network is widely used; it provides basic social network functions like sharing your thoughts, pictures videos but the best and most unique feature about groovr is their city explore page, this page keeps you informed about the happening events taking place in your city.

It also has a particular likeness for the iPhone, presenting a special Groovr icon for iPhone users. Who knew that a social network could inform you through your cell phone about the party that you must visit on your night out!

Moving on, remember the times when you are just plain bored at home and thinking what possibly can you do to make your day better but are too lazy to call and text everyone?

Brightkite is the best form of mobile social network to use when you are constantly travelling either on vacation or on a business tour.

Many of us own an iphone so now I would talk about a social network that is limited to iphone, “Fon11”; what’s so special about this? Well, how about it provides you with an option to see how far are the contacts in your list from you, intriguing right?

This feature of Fon11 has made it highly popular amongst iphone users and many of them call it the hottest mobile social network; this application is different from the rest of the competitors because it allows you to choose your visibility settings and sharing of posts is very convenient due to the friendly and simple user interface.
