How about an elite iPhone-Only Social Network

by colbert low on February 25th, 2008

iPhone-Only Social NetworkMichael Arrington, king of TechCrunch has an interesting post this week. The thing that caught my eye was not his view on the iPhone-Only Social Network but the word “Kuala Lumpur” (KL). That’s where I stay right now and its a pretty cool thing since “Tim” could have been “Colbert”. Hehe

Generally I use a lot of social sites and if they could leverage more of it on my mobile phone while on a night out in a trendy bar, then by all means, Im ok with it if I can get to meet some hot chick who looks like Jessica Simpson.

Once a network has critical mass users will, depending on privacy settings, be able to walk into any gathering and see information on the people in the room. Whoever gets there first will have a far more valuable asset than the existing networks at MySpace and Facebook today. Social networks are about being social. And social implies being around other people. The device they have with them when they’re doing that, and which can enhance those social gatherings, is their mobile phone. The key to doing that is through GPS or cell phone triangulation (which the iPhone now has).
