A fascinating step forward in the social networking phenomenon has begun in Australia and is about to move worldwide. Called “FunkySexyCool” the idea is social networking on mobile phones. The system has been on show in the past week at the annual European Technology Round Table in Barcelona. Although the system is a bit wacky it points the way to more social networking. Expect social networking systems to be added to all sorts of technology, including digital TV and telephony of all kinds.

Newspaper blogs still have a long way to go

I was interested to read that newspaper blogs are still largely one-way. You’d have thought they would be two-way, with plenty of interaction. Maybe it’s because publishers haven’t yet worked out how to use blogs.
