Over at a site called Ecademy connecting business people, they have a running blog on social networking using cellphones. I just recently started hearing this term "Social networking" taking on a new technical meaning. The Social networking of the 1980s and 90s meant "It's not what you know it's who you know." The social networking of today seems to mean "It's not what you know, it's who you can Bluetooth."
Although the idea presented at Ecademy involves cellphones, Pocket PCs are better equipped to do social networking because we can tap out messages, send files, etc withouth having to do so on a 12 key phone touchpad. "Combine OPL for Series 60 phones[1] with FOAF and get real world matching via Bluetooth proximity of cellphones. Now imagine being at an Ecademy Event. You've loaded your profile onto your phone. You arrive and your phone makes contact with the people like you and your friends who are already there."
What do you make of this new Social Networking trend? Is it worthwhile or just another fad?
