Social Networks on your mobile phone seems sooo obvious to me now … I can’t believe it hasn’t happened sooner. So when Orange recently announced the completion of an agreement with MySpace, Facebook, and Bebo (amongst overs) to allow mobile access … I nearly all my contacts and followed it up with a ‘poke’ for good measure.

Orange users who have an account with Myspace, Facebook, Bebo, Skyrock, Pikeo, Flirtomatic, Dailymotion or Meetic will very soon be able to keep in touch with all their friends when ever and where ever they are.

The service is initially in France but other countries will quickly follow (UK, Spain, Portugal).

So a small leap for mobile communications but one massive jump for the Social Networks maybe.

If like many the whole SN thing has left you a little confused … here are a couple of videos that might help explain things and help get you started (from the guys at common craft - in plain english).
