With the development of blogs, social networks and IM, everybody wants to tell the rest of the world what he is doing right now. Everybody is twitting, blogging, sending pictures to Flickr, but when you are on the move there’s no better tool to communicate, than your mobile phone.
I bet that your mobile phone, is always in your pocket, always on, ready to send or receive a phone call, so why not use it to communicate the web 2.0 way?
Applications like Nokia life blog, fring and Shozu let you stay in touch all the time.
Imagine :
- just send pictures taken with your mobile phone to Flickr and the integrated GPS will geo-tag them so that they appear on a google map directly where it was taken, now your network will be able to know where you were without opening a world atlas …
- Livecast to your blog or directly to youTube from your mobile the concert you are attending using Pocket Caster: all your friends who can’t attend will be happy (or jealous)…
- Twitt your friends directly from your mobile using fring, so you can let everybody know that the family dinner was terrible (hoping your mum isn’t reading your twitter page) …
This is just one more example of smart convergence: use every device for what it does best. Mobile just happens to be the best way to contribute to your web 2.0 life.
Mobile is not limited to contribution: if you don’t think it’s possible to waste as much time on social networks from a phone as you do from a computer, maybe it is time you try Facebook on iPhone.

Well said, and thanks for the inclusion of ShoZu. We are very proud to be a part of the mobile 2.0 ecosystem and we are continuing to develop a whole host of cool features to allow even more people to share their lives with the world.
Best,
