Exploring Mobile Social Networking
By Justin Oberman, 06/13/2008 - 6:17pm

Picture 1 I know we are all getting ready for the pig PDF event coming up but I wanted to let you all know that this upcoming Monday, July 16th Mobile Monday New York will be hosting a very innovative discussion of social networkings mashup with the mobile medium. It promises to be a lively discussion from a vast array of experience regarding this inevitable phenomenon.

Why do I say inevitable? Because what is a cell phone to begin with then a social media networking tool. What is your contact list of which you can choice to speak to, send messages or pictures and video to then your own social network down to its bare bone minimum. Now add on top of this device its possible integration with the web and other social networking sites as well as Web 2.0 developments and you have something pretty spectacular in motion. What that is its to early to tell but the speakers at this conference should lead us in the right direction.

As the candidates and political causes begin investing more of their time in social networks and mobile technology I believe we will begin to see them as part of one giant new media bucket.

There will of course also be free food and drinks in the spirit of Mobile Monday. Speakers include:

Ari Zoldan of Quantum/Launch 3 Raphi Salem CEO of Salem Global Robert Samuals Director, Mobile Products Mobile Web, Messaging, Games, Alternative Platforms at the New York Times (how does he fit all that on his card?) Mark Frieser – IDT / Zedge George Linardos- Mosh - Nokia Nussar Ahmad - Addictive Mobility Rich Frisbie - Ringside Networks
