Hm. Social networking aggregation fused with mobiles is THE thing of 2008. I saw this coming from a long way off, but am surprised that Yahoo was able to come out with something already.
But, it’s good to see the heat getting turned up. I think there will be many ways to do this and everyone will be able to learn from those that come before them.
There’s also a video (see below) showing what it’s all about.

On Tuesday, the company announced at the GSMA Mobile World Congress here OneConnect, a new tool that allows mobile phone users to aggregate their social-networking updates and messaging in one spot on their phones. The service integrates directly with a phone user’s address book and allows people to share status updates and messages from a variety of messaging and social-networking platforms. This means it can provide status updates from Facebook or MySpace.com as well as provide access to e-mail and archived instant-messaging chats.
How about giving a start up the Chance to succeed?
All this Billion Dollar Companies are sucking the success out of smaller Corporations without even getting it right. Being brand names is what sucks in all the Customers.
