Courtesy of my good friend Iwan Winoto at IBM comes a great TechCrunch article entitled I Saw The Future Of Social Networking The Other Day
Frankly, MySpace and Facebook could lock up this space simply by focusing on it, but as far as I can tell from discussions with execs at both companies, they’re more focused on each other than in dominating the mobile space. That creates an incredible vacuum for a startup.
Michael Arrington then goes on to expound about an iPhone alpha/beta app from an un-named developer.
This interest in mobile phone social networking is not new; Arrington’s reported on this before. But when you re-read my earlier article about mobile networks, it starts to make good economic and business sense to begin to pull together some information on which to base strategic decision-making, be you a corporate communicator, an SME (small-medium sized enterprise) or an entrepreneur.
Cheers for the heads-up, Iwan.
