I agree with John that mobile extensions of established web-based social networks will likely overtake the “carbon copy” networks that have been launched on WAP, but I believe the shift to mobile is a significant disruption that may allow for newer, more advanced social networking services to emerge.

These will be developed with “mobile DNA” and have a fundamentally different emphasis than the existing leaders on the web. They will focus less on the profile (basically a personal web page) and more on immediate communication leveraging all of the capabilities of mobile devices: voice/audio capture, GPS, camarea phones, etc.

Mobile social networking will definitely take off in a huge way in the next five years. I think the key component that Juniper reports is that user-generated content will be the catalyst.

It seems there are two types of mobile social networks emerging. The first is simply a carbon copy of social networking websites except completely WAP based. These appeal primarily to users with limited or no computer web access. The second is more intuitive to the mobile phone: an extension of web based social networks, allowing users to post media into and out of those social networks from their mobile. Both are compelling, but the latter will overtake the first.
