Last time we covered GyPSii, they were partnering with Garmin. This time, however, the location-based mobile social network announced that it has entered into a multi-year worldwide agreement with Samsung. This is a huge win for GyPSii as it will be able to reach more users than ever. Under the terms of agreement, GyPSii will provide [...]

Recently I’ve stumbled upon Cellware.com and was immediately amazed how it works. It’s a service that adds a new twist to the mobile social networks. Basically, like for instance Nokia’s MOSH , Cellware.com allows users to share mobile content, but also adds a benefit to the content creators allowing them to actually make some money along the way. In addition, they’re providing their members with “fun and easy to use” tools to help them make mobile content, and again, monetize it. As you’ve probably guessed, they’ll be making their money from advertising, which is not that surprising considering that Cellware.com was created by Advertising.com’s co-founder, John Ferber. Finally, as with most services we see nowadays, Cellware.com is still in beta, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find any content there. Right from the start, they’ve managed get few of the content producing companies on board, including Alliance, Arphiola, Norstar Media, NO GOOD TV, Go Music Network, Oddcast, Selectracks, SoundIdeas, 4info, and Hanaho Games… ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Mobile social networking in JuneYahoo may Buy UK Social Network Bebo for $1BKylie Minogue beats breast cancer, launches mobile social networkMicrosoft serious about mobile social networking; Acquires technology from WebFivesO2 brings MySpace and Facebook to mobile users in the UK

While we don’t see many of the new pure desktop web-based social networks appearing these days, the mobile social networking space is booming as never before. We’ve already covered several such services in the past, and today we’re presenting you with DodgeBall . Just like some of the services we’ve seen before, DodgeBall relies heavily on SMS to allow users with virtually any mobile phone to schmooze while on-the-go. In addition to “standard feature set,” the new service provides users with some kind of rating mechanism giving you an ability to “fancy someone” on scale between 1 and 5 crushes. That being said, I can easily envision DodgeBall’s key selling point being the mobile dating, and not just chatting and exchanging emails with your buddies. The system also has the location component built inside, hence it can inform you when someone with enough “crushes” is in the neighborhood. Let’s just hope stalkers won’t use it. UPDATE: I’ve almost forgot. DodgeBall has been recently acquired by Google, and now you can login using your Google account.

Although Friendster is now far from the shiny star it used to be, it’s still being used by many people especially in Asian countries. That being said, I’m having a hard time understanding why it took them so long to go mobile. Anyway, the new site called FriendsterToGo is launched for users who want to do their e-schmoozing on Friendster from their mobile phones. As expected, with the mobile version you can’t access to all Friendster’s features, but you can do such things as status update, check status of your friends, view their (your friends’) pictures, lookup profiles, send and receive mail messages from your friends. But before you visit “ friendsterToGo.com ” from your mobile browser, make sure you’ve added the “Go Mobile” widget to your profile and take it from there… [Via: Mobile Weblog ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Clearspring goes mobile; Launches mobile syndication widgetsOne BILLION web pages viewed with Opera MiniT-Mobile goes old-school, offers T-Mobile MDA for sale on websiteCould we have a mobile phone shortage in the near future?T-Mobile UK names mobile TV content providers
