The screen is doctored, but it’s hilarious by Brandon Miles

iPhoneSocialThis article at TechCrunch poses the question, “Will there every be a (successful) iPhone-only social network?” They outline a Berkeley startup called Fon11which is working on just that.From the article: “iPhone owners, like users of most Apple products, are a fairly passionate, elitist group of people. I think an iPhone-only social network, if it had the right features, would be a huge hit with these users. Actually, I think any mobile social network would be a big hit, if it had presence awareness and was able to tell you both where your friends are and what they are up to. And also let you meet new people around you who were open to it.”What is kind of cool (and kind of scary) is that it seems they are trying to use the iPhone’s “Locate Me” technology to show you where your “friends” are in relation to your location. Have a friend who never tells you when they’re coming to town? If you are both a part of this network, you can be alerted when they show up. Get your landlord on here, and you’ll know when to turn the lights off and pretend your at work.
