The future of social networking: mobile phones
Picture this: a young woman goes to a party. She doesn't know anyone but it's fine because she has her mobile with her. A few clicks and she accesses the profiles of a dozen people at the party, including their pictures. She's in luck: two of them turn out to be friends of friends. She messages them and they start to chat.
Or this: an entrepreneur is at a conference. He is on the lookout for a new marketing director. Within minutes he has identified ten people in the hall with the right CV, two of whom are looking to change jobs. His mobile tells him one of them is standing 20ft away. That evening, a record of all the people he has met is automatically displayed with their profiles on his home computer.
This is not science fiction - it is the future of social networking and it is just around the corner. After the explosion in internet-based social networking (MySpace, Facebook) doing the same thing in real life instead of in front of a computer became an obvious next step. Much of it is already happening on a small scale as dozens of companies seek to exploit social networking on the go.
So how does it work? The key is the coming together of internet-connected mobile phones and location or proximity technology. You can browse the internet quickly and easily on most new phones. Phones know where they are, thanks to in-built GPS satellite technology or triangulation from mobile phone masts. They can then tell if other phones are in the same area. Bluetooth short-range radio technology is also standard on most mobiles and with this phones can pick up the presence of other Bluetooth-enabled phones within about 20 metres.
Effectively, by linking these two developments, your phone can tell if someone is near you and can access lots of information about them - the perfect ingredients for real social interaction.
The possibilities are endless. Can't ever put names to faces? Want to check the background of that chief executive officer so you can remind him that he owes you a favour? Want to avoid all accountants/lawyers/journalists? Keep seeing that handsome man at the bar and need a common interest to get the ball rolling? All these scenarios are being solved by the new wave of mobile applications.
One company based in Berlin has just gone live with its mobile social network. More than 3,000 young Germans have signed up to the aka-aki service in just over a month.
Users of the service download an application on to their mobile phones free. The software uses Bluetooth, and when another member's phone comes within range, it pings. The user can then check who it is and choose to access that person's profile, message them and, if they want, go over and have a chat.
In just over an hour on a sunny day in the centre of Berlin I had more than a dozen “encounters” with aka-aki members. Everyone was buzzing with the possibilities of the network and eager to chat.
Stefanie Hoffman, 30, one of aka-aki's founders, said that although she met her boyfriend through aka-aki it was not just about dating. “The business applications are real,” she said. “I went to a conference the other day - one girl and 80 guys - and normally I would feel very reluctant to go up to someone to talk. It can be very difficult if you are a woman in those circumstances. But my phone told me there were half a dozen aka-aki members there and so I could introduce myself.”
That privileged sense of belonging is both the key to the success of mobile social networking and the greatest barrier. People will want to join because they can be part of a connected community. But until enough people join, these mobile networks will not take off. It is probably going to take one of the big beasts of internet social networks such as Facebook, which already has many millions of members, to achieve this.
The other big question mark is privacy. Why would people want total strangers to have access to their details?
In the Mitte district of Berlin, Sehnaz Sensan, 27, a student and aka-aki member, was unconcerned. After I had messaged her to ask if we could talk, she said that she “encountered” mainly men (the ratio for men and women signing up for aka-aki is about 70/30 - early adopters of new technology tend to be young men). “I can control what is on my profile and what people can know about me,” she said. “They message me to say hello and I can message back and we can meet up or I can ignore it. It is a way of breaking the ice.”
What about being bothered by strangers? “Men can come up to you anyway without knowing anything about you,” Ms Sensan said. “That's much more insulting. If I don't want an encounter then I don't switch it on.”
Michael Arrington, one of the most influential technology bloggers in the world, says that the days when people are not happy to broadcast their CV/personal life electronically are over. “People always trade off privacy for removal of friction,” he said.
As he notes on his TechCrunch blog there are more than a dozen mobile social network start-ups in Silicon Valley. “A few years from now we will use our mobile devices to help us to remember details of people we know. It will help us to meet new people for dating, business and friendship. Using your phone to create or enhance real world interactions is a killer application, but no one has cracked the nut yet. Once it happens, look out.”
Arrington has blogged that Apple's hugely successful iPhone would be a great place to start. He has seen an “awesome” application being developed and says that iPhone users are the perfect group for a mobile social network - they are technological, elitist and identify with their brand.
Analysts and commentators are predicting huge growth in the sector. Aka-aki, which was developed from a university diploma project, now has serious funding from a leading German venture capitalist.
It is not difficult to see how networks like aka-aki might make money. Anyone who has watched the film Minority Report with Tom Cruise will have seen how shops could message those on the network with offers when they pass by.
In another scenario, businesses such as restaurants could pay to access the service and when a member walks in, the store's profile appears. The member chooses to add the restaurant to a list of favoured brands and the next week receives a two-for-one meal offer. The restaurant gets targeted “permission” advertising and more diners on a slow night.
But in the end are mobile social networks not just a nerdy replacement for people simply talking to each other? As one blogger put it: “I am pretty sure that an actual conversation will do the same thing. Is this the evolution of geek dating?”
Roman Hansler, another aka-aki co-founder, says that seeing other people's details on your mobile in real life is a conversation-starter not a replacement. “This is about opening doors for real communication, not sitting in a virtual chat room,” he said.

Mobile Phone Use While Pregnant Causes Neurological Problems in Babies
The first large-scale study to look at the connection between mobile phone use in pregnancy and later behavioral problems in children has overwhelmingly come back with a finding that such phone use places undeveloped babies at risk.
Researchers from the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Aarhus, Denmark surveyed 13,519 women who had given birth in Denmark in the late 1990s about their mobile phone use habits while pregnant, and their children's use of the phones up until the age of seven. Due to the fact that cell phone use was less widespread a decade ago, about half of the women in the study had not used the phones while pregnant, or used them only infrequently.
Women who used handsets two or three times per day while pregnant were 54 percent more likely to give birth to children who developed behavioral problems by the time they reached school age than women who did not use them. The risk of behavioral problems increased along with the mother's mobile phone use during pregnancy.
If children used the phones themselves while very young, they were 80 percent more likely to suffer behavioral difficulties, 25 percent more likely to suffer from emotional problems, 34 percent more likely to have trouble relating to their peers, 35 percent more likely to be hyperactive and 49 percent more likely to have conduct problems than children who did not use mobile phones.
The findings were published in the journal Epidemiology.
One of the lead researchers, Leeka Kheifets of UCLA, had previously stated in writing that there was "no consistent evidence of a causal relationship between exposure to radiofrequency fields [including those from mobile phones] and any adverse health effect." A well-known skeptic of the connection between mobile phone use and health or behavioral problems, Kheifets admitted to being surprised by the current study's findings.
The researchers attempted to demonstrate that some other confounding factor - such as smoking during pregnancy, socioeconomic status or a family history of mental illness - had caused the behavioral effects observed. But when they corrected for these factors, the contribution of mobile phones actually became statistically stronger.
Saying that they did not know of any biological mechanism by which mobile phones could cause behavioral problems, the researchers urged that their results "should be interpreted with caution." They also suggested that there might be some correlation between cellular phone use and some other factor that leads to behavioral difficulties - such as neglect by a mother that spends too much time on the phone.
But they conceded that "if [the results] are real they would have major public health implications."
Sam Millham of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the University of Washington School of Public Health, said that he is certain the study results are accurate. Recent research conducted in Canada on pregnant rats demonstrated that radiation similar to that from mobile phones caused structural changes to the brains of the fetuses, he said.
Millham is considered a pioneer in researching the connection between mobile phone use and negative health effects.
The study's results came not long after the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection released new warnings about the use of mobile phones by pregnant women and children. Use of cellular phones by children can lead to short-term "disruption of memory, decline of attention, diminishing learning and cognitive abilities, increased irritability," while long-term use can cause "depressive syndrome [and] degeneration of the nervous structures of the brain."

Mobile Revolution in India
Far from being a lifestyle product, Mobiles have now become a necessity. India has seen a huge spur in mobiles in the past 5 years and it has penetrated even to the rural areas of India to a good extent. With entrants of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) like Reliance communications and Tata Indicom the call rates have been reduced and usability has been increased. The launch of the revolutionary offer of a mobile phone along with a connection by Reliance for Rs.500 boosted the mobile sales to sky soaring limits. Over and above with the STD rates and the call rates reducing day by day and new competitors entering, the mobile market has flung open high growth prospects.
The most highly potential and highly targeted market for mobile phones is the youth market. Mobiles have become a necessity in this market. But over and above the handsets have now become more of a style statement. Thus simply owning a mobile phone is not enough, the priority of this market lies in owning handsets that best exhibit your style. This need has given rise to innumerable handsets with varied extra features like MP3 players, cameras, Bluetooth, etc. Thus mobile phones have traveled a far way from a device transmitting voice calls to a technology that entertains (MP3), lets you be creative (camera) and helps you with your studies too (MS office applications).
Mobiles are not just a plaything of the adolescents. For many it is a lifeline. For Businessmen this piece of technology is an office and livelihood rolled into one. Mobiles have made business transactions an easy process. Though the main and final deals continue to be made in person. All the prior discussions are now made simpler due to mobile phones. Most businessmen agree that a major chunk of their business transaction is covered through mobile phones and it has made the process a lot simpler. Now they no longer have to travel long distances to meet the clients. This way your precious time and energy is saved which in turn leads to a relaxed mind that would eventually help you make proper decisions. Besides with a mobile phone in hand, now you can be available to more clients 24 hours of the day.
As the mobile phone users are increasing rapidly, mobile stores too has
The competition is getting tougher as more players enter this market. With the low rates and excellent service from the CDMA players, a twist in the tale is likely. The power and potency of the mobile market is understandable with the entrance of the two state-run fixed-line providers BSNL and MTNL into the bandwagon.
mobile stores in India are growing amazingly. It is interesting to know that though the mobile phone trend has so well seeped into the lifestyle of every average Indian, the future of landline phones is not at all in the dark. Experts believe that a family will own several mobile phones; however they will continue to have a fixed landline at home.
