    I agree with your assessment, Nick. My two mobile social networks are incredibly important to my social and professional life:

    1) I use the Facebook App on my Blackberry. I mostly use it to upload pictures I take with my handset. This process is both for my network of 700+ friends on facebook to see what i'm doing in near real time, as well as acts as a way for me to capture a history of my life.

    2) I use twitter's IM notification function and pipe that into Google Talk on my Blackberry. This method gives me real-time twitter updates and allows me to 'chat' back to other twitterers. Gtalk on the blackberry also queues up all tweets and lets me read them in sequence later. I follow about 300 people...and read almost every tweet ever day using this methodology.

    The "future" isn't mobile though. TODAY is mobile.
