Social Networking From Your Cell

A small startup VCEL (Virtual Communication Expression & Lifestyle) has unveiled a new social networking service for cell phones. All you need to do to keep in contact with your friends 24/7 is to create a profile with their website, download a Java application for your cell phone (more than 20 models are supported already), and send an invitation to your buddies. Here we go: you can exchange comments, pictures, plan on activities together, etc. You'd have the same control over your profile either from phone or from web browser. They have a nice Java applet for your page, so you can leave your buddies a voice message right from your computer and so on.

Terrific

Splendid! Yet another way to watch my friends leave their accounts idle or away for months at a time.

just what we need...

Oh wow!

I can already see the next gen of this: Cells that let you call your friend and tell them you want to meet!

Gosh. I'm bouncy.

This is the MySpace crowd, after all.

Great

Sounds great! Now do these "friends" come with the service or are they separate download? Is there torrent?

I clicked on this RSS feed and from the headline I was thinking it was a social networking sire for prison inmates.

That's the beauty of Java. Write once, doesn't run anywhere.

In any case...

If I were to remain in contact with my friends 24/7, I'm fairly sure they wouldn't remain friends for very long. And they would probably feel likewise about me.

Uhm...

Social networking with a phone? What ELSE is one supposed to do with a phone???
