And Now, we have Moko Music brought to you by Loop Mobile. Hmmm…Mokies can directly interact with their favorite artists. Taking control away from the record studios and giving back the power to the customer to pick and choose hits….Hmmm…. Bill Badman

Its interesting to know about the all new development that are taking place in specific to “mobile social networking”. Could be Sotto- XO deal, T-Mobile issue, Verzon network issue & now the Mirosoft deal.However, I recently came across this new method of networking on mobile without GPRS, EDGE or internet on similar kind of social networking sites. http://www.moda...p;camp=mobnetTC

Is this like a new area of competition that such companies are currently targeting ?????

@yawn!

I have been noticing that some of my comments are getting moderated / blocked / not posted on here, and it’s frustrating. As time goes by, I am finding myself on Valleywag a lot more, at least the posts there are witty.

Strange that they will stop their services, I guess all those users (i’m not one off them) are going to be really pissed off. Why not migrate there accounts?

Nat,
That Moko is really starting to move. Very interesting. Microsoft is not in the fore-front anymore anyway. I did a little research and found that soon Moko-Music will launch. Moko will be a buyout bid in my opinion in the very near future. Based on the mere fact that it is easier to buy a successful mobile community than it is to build one from the bottom up. Too easy. It is only money that is needed for the buyout and not top talent to build a new business idea. Bill Badman. (A blurb below relating to Moko)

MOKO: Launched in 2005 in H3G Australia as Kink Kommunity, this
service was and still is a mobile-only social community (Soon to be internet based also). MOKO (for MObile KOmmunity) has since reached H3G UK and is now launching in the US market as well. MOKO users start a “chat room” by uploading a
picture or video via MMS to a short code. The chat rooms can be browsed
on mobile devices at http://www.moko.mobi. In order to be part of the
community MOKO members pay a monthly fee of GBP 1.5 in H3G UK or
3 US$ if in H3G AU. There are 50’000 paying MOKO users in H3G UK alone.

I’m not really that bothered about the quality of English–it’s better than my Hindi–but what gets on my nerves is the utter banality of a lot of the posts. People would be better off spending their time doing something else than either a) repeating what’s already been said in the TC post or b) coming out with a dull non-opinion like “The social networking scenario is getting hot really”.

It’s ok buying up Companies, but its what you do with them that ultimately counts.
Is WebFives going to be integrated with other Microsoft services, or is it just going to be left on the shelf as a future project in limbo.

Didn’t Microsoft invest in another social networking start-up called Wallop a few years ago.
Has anyone ever used it?

I don’t know about HTML; I’m increasingly of the opinion that TechCrunch eats any comments that are remotely intelligent or interesting, leaving us with the random ramblings of kids, the barely-comprehensible broken English of various Indians (usually stating the complete obvious, cf. “Microsoft jumped into social networking sites” or irrelevant, cf. “I cannot access Techcrunch down why?”) and the incessant inane drivel that comes from Fake Steve Bore-mer. When it’s not either of those categories, it’s people posting purely to spam their rubbish blog or plug their second-rate web 2.0 site.

Come on Mike; I think the time has come for comments to be closed or restricted on here…

Hm, that was supposed to be witty:

“Use my service until (INSERT TECHNOLOGY COMPANY) buys it and you’re left in the cold. Thanks for helping us get sold. ”

Guess TechCrunch eats HTML.

Oh, hey, that’s reassuring.

“Use my service until buys it and you’re left in the cold. Thanks for helping us get sold. ”
