There are those that say that social networking is a fad and it will burst like the dot-com bubble. I disagree!

The concept of Social network is as old as the human race; it has evolved and transformed, it is part of our life and will stay with us as long as we exist. Social Media describes the tools and platform that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other. Online Social Networks are created by the convergence of the human anthropological need to build communities and technology components as the catalyst.

Trends come and go and we will witness other Facebooks and MySpaces that will become the hottest new digital communities. But, online social networking is here to stay. Then the question is; how will these enabling tools change?

In real life, socialization takes place based on common interests and ones’ professional colleagues, friends and family are not detached. Occasionally, there are natural overlaps across various networks as professional acquaintances can also be friends, school mates or family members. Current online models prohibit these cross network pollinations.

The next generation apps are those that allow the freedom of movement and interactions across online social networks. Just as significant will be mobile applications that extend online interactive functions on the go. In a way, both of advances create freedom of connectivity and movement, imitating how real life socialization takes place today.

Here at MobileLife, we’ve taken these trends and applied a mobile relevant user experience to take mobile communities beyond their current narrow focus.
