Some may call it the 'Crackberry syndrome', but many cell phone users are addicted to their handsets as it keeps them connected 24x7. The modest gadget once meant to convey voice messages has now evolved as a social networking platform, enabling users to be a part of their private gossip chaupal or communities even in the middle of an important official meeting. Convergence has helped cellular phones acquire an aura of Swiss army knives an all-purpose gadget.
If Internet is said to bring the world to one's doorstep, then it wouldn't be incorrect to say that a handset with Internet access brings everything under the sun on your palm. While, the consumer gets excited about addition of every new service to his handset, the operators and service providers keep innovating ways to cash on popularity of MVAS.
The mobile users had long been feeding on VAS, sending SMSes, browsing the Internet, downloading music, caller-back tones, and playing games, but there was always an urge to get a real-time access, all the time and everywhere, which social networking sites on handy devices fulfill.
A report by Juniper Research on mobile UGC predicts that user-generated content is predicted to grow and increase revenue inflow from the present $572 mn to over $5.7 bn in 2012. Interestingly, social networking sites will account for 50% of this amount. People using social networks are going to grow from the current 14 mn to around 600 mn by 2012. Currently, downloads from social networking sites stand roughly at around the 200 mn which is set to grow to over 9 bn in the next five years.
K Sheker, director, Bay Talkitec quotes in a report, and says that about 50 mn people, or about 2.3% of all mobile users already use the mobile phone for social networking, from chat services to multimedia sharing. The forecast is that the penetration will mushroom to atleast 12.5% in the next five years.
An ICM study sees some future for networking on mobile. It says: If a quarter of Internet users are already accessing social networking sites on their mobile phones, this shows an interest in this service.
"Considering the lifestyle and technology needs of today's generation, mobile social networking is poised to become the preferred way of networking. India is the second largest mobile phone market. In India, this trend is comparatively new but seeing the growing popularity of social networks, it will gradually catch up," says Evert Jaap Lugt, founder & CEO, Nimbuzz.
Buongiorno's Co-CEO Milind Pathak feels that in India the trend is still nascent from global perspective. Efforts are being made and now the companies and operators in India too are thinking of developing products on these lines.
Latest in India is BigAdda that has launched social network on mobile (SMS-WAP-client). 'Mobile Adda' is a platform available as an integrated offering across SMS and WAP. It is an installable application for over 500 different mobile phone models.

Networking on the Move
Voicing concern over the use of social networking sites for spread of propaganda and disturbing communal harmony, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today asked the Centre to take steps to control such sites.
Citing a recent case where some persons tried to create communal tension in Gurgaon and Rewari districts on the issue of transportation of cows, he said the situation was brought under control by district authorities though immediate and decisive response and the matter is being enquired into by the Divisional Commissioner.
"It has often been seen that social networking sites such as Facebook, MMS, Twitter etc. Become a media in spreading propaganda through video clippings and messages of incidents with communal overtones - instigating hatred among various communities leading to flaring up of the communal situation.
"However, in the present legal framework, control of such social networking sites is required to be done by Central Government," he said speaking at the National Integration Council meeting.
Noting that the conference was an apt occasion to remember patriotic leaders who laid the foundations of the country on firm principles of unity in diversity, freedom of religion and secularism, he regretted that some forces want to destabilize "present achievements and our future dreams through communalism and extremist violence".
"Today, we need to send a clear message to everyone that the States and the Centre are unitedly committed to decisively defeat communalism in all its manifestations," he said.
Seeking parity in the policing of the NCR region, Hooda urged Prime Minister to sanction a special package of Rs 500 crore for Haryana Police to enhance its capability and technical competence to bring it on par with Delhi Police.
He stressed that the entire region would benefit from the same quality of confidence derived from better security.
Hooda described the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi as a symbol of national unity and harmony and said its safety and security is intimately linked to that of NCR sub-region of Haryana which surrounds it from three sides.

Centre Should Control Social Networking Sites: Hooda
New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) The role of social media in fanning communal violence was the focus of many speeches delivered Monday here at the National Integration Council meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The prime minister broached the issue in his inaugural address, and said there was need to prevent the misuse of social media by elements looking to foment trouble.
After the meet, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said the government wanted to ban social media but it was not easy.
"Northeast chief ministers spoke about it. We are eager to ban it but it is not easy," Shinde told reporters.
Referring to the recent communal violence in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh that left 48 dead, the prime minister said there were cases in which fake videos were circulated, causing deeper divides between communities.
He said social media could be used to cement bonds.
"Social media provides the opportunity to state one's views freely, and there is need to maintain this. But it is also important that we do not allow people wanting to create trouble to misuse it," the prime minister said.
He also referred to the misuse of social media last year, which led to many people from the northeastern states being forced to flee their homes and jobs in south India.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma were among those who raised concerns over the impact of social media.
Yadav said there was no effective mechanism at present to stop the spread of hatred-inducing material on social media.

New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda Monday urged the central government to control social networking sites, and expressed concern that such sites on the internet were being misused for spreading messages with communal overtones.
Speaking at the meeting of the National Integration Council in New Delhi Monday, Hooda said social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter were propagating messages with potential to instigate communal feelings.
He said that some mischievous people had tried to create communal tension in Gurgaon and Rewari districts of his state by taking up communally sensitive issues like the transportation of cows, but the situation was brought under control with prompt action by authorities.
Hooda urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to sanction a special composite package of Rs.500 crore for Haryana Police, so that its capability and technical competence in the National Capital Region (NCR) is brought at par with Delhi Police.
"The Mega City Policing scheme of the government of India must cover Gurgaon and Faridabad, as both these cities are in unbroken urban continuation with the capital. This will benefit the entire region," Hooda said.
