Social Networking SMS is Coming To Town

mopocket writes about a company called Mobile Signal which has launched a text based social networking service that combines SMS and location based services (LBS).

Mobile Signal will give subscribers the opportunity to communicate with people who share their personal or business interests in their vicinity via their mobile phone or PC. They also expect to boost mobile operator revenues by at least €30 million inside two years.

The Mobile Signal platform – which is available via simple plug–in patented technology compatible with any web or mobile application – enables network operators to provide high revenue features to its customers within four weeks.

Justin writes, "Once the tech is in full swing an SMS will alert users when there are people in the same location who share a whole host of similar interests such as sport, music, films, politics or even romance.

Whether it is a young backpacker arriving at an airport in a new country, or a businessman attending a congress alone, by activating Mobile Signal on their phone they will be made instantly aware of those nearby who also like to meet others sharing something in common."
