I agree with Zephoria. A lot of the mobile social network crowd will cath on with mobile social networking. Cellphones are only moving up in popularity. By the way SMS doesnt require the use of your browser. only at the initial start when joining a network like peekamo or twitter.

I’ve been using Twitter since it launched this summer and really liking it. It’s got good growth, committed backers, and an active developer community. I get that there are barriers to to entry due to the cost of SMS but the number of youth with high volume text messaging plans is growing fast.

Ahh – thanks for catching that. I am talking about the US market only. Thanks…I might update the post w/that so it makes more sense.

Fred – are you assuming US-only? There’s already a lot going on in Asia and there are very different carrier/handset dynamics in Europe… I’m not betting US in 2007, but i am betting social network systems in either Europe or Asia.
