Social Networking on MoSoSo

When I read these two articles, “Students’ New Best Friend: MoSoSo” and “Thumb novels: Mobile phone fiction”, I thought about Apple’s iPhone and App Store. On campus, subway, I can see many people using iPhone. (It’s very regretful that I cannot have one, because the period I will stay here is too short to buy new iPhone.) The point I thought is not just iPhone itself, but the Apps in it. With Apps, not only we can do many things very conveniently, but also we can be App builder.

Yes, I think App making is an open blue ocean to developers. As smart phones are evolved more and more, the necessity of Apps is increasing. Different from traditional phone, smart phone does not provide many functions for consumers. The important thing is that there is also communication. App developers make an App and upload it on the App store, and App users buy them and write comments. Then, App makers update by referring customers’ response. People talk about the App’s useful thing and negative effect on them, so expected customers also read them and consider whether buy them or not.

I think this trend can be more evolved. As you see on this video, there are many programs and videos to help make Apps on the Internet. Also, making Apps would be difficult and require high design ability, but the important thing is that the opportunity is opened to anyone! I think this is revolutionary evolution on the field of Mobile Social networking Software. Apps are made by customers, reflecting exact desire of users. That’s why when I connect to iTunes store (I usually go there as an iPod user), I cannot avoid buying Apps because almost all of them are very attractive and seem to be useful.
