Here Comes the Mobile Society!

Social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, which have dramatically altered the online landscape, are having a growing impact on the mobile world, too.

According to the new "Mobile Social Communities" report from ABI Research, the social networking phenomenon that has swept the Internet in the past few years is about to have a big impact on mobile phones and devices, too.

The report states that "mobile social communities" currently number almost 50 million members worldwide, and that number is projected to rise to 174 million in 2011.
