For mobile social networking to succeed the experience has to be complete, which is not there in the current crop of apps out there. I’ve listed a couple of must have scenarios for a better experience.

“The mobile phone is by default equipped with a contact list and most people use their GSM to transmit messages. Isn’t that exactly the definition of a social network?” completely agree that. Mobile Social Networking will succeed where MMS failed, providing a richer interaction with the community.

In our experience at MobiLuck (m.mobiluck.com) there is clearly a strong interest from the younger crowd to use mobile social networking to show off and to have fun. In countries where mobile is just starting to take off, many don’t have PC access and the mobile is their first experience of the internet, so they’re also going through an exciting discovery phase. In addition to this mass market for user generated content and chat, we should not forget that there are other niche markets, such as business networking. The Mobile Monday chapter in Paris offers MobiLuck to its members so they can check out the business cards of everyone else and search for people to network with at the events. For example you can search for an investor, send them a message asking to meet, recognize them from their photo, and then find a restaurant nearby to go to afterwards to continue the conversation. There are many mobile social networks out there that offer mainly UGC and chat, but in the next couple of years we will see more services like MobiLuck appearing that are based around the user using their location to enhance their social networking experience – for example showing off to friends, geo-tagging photos or getting alerts when friends are close by. The boom is already under way!

Neat!! I like the write up. I love mobile networking. I use networking mainly for music. I have been a part of Mozes for a while now and I love it. I started a band and it’s so easy to send updates to the mob and get honest feedback from the members. I think mobile networking’s the thing now and it’s not far from the boom.
