There’s no secret Google wants to rule our mobile lives, hence they keep pumping their mobile offering with new apps and services. Lately we’ve spotted they’ve bought mobile social networking start-up Zingku. Those not familiar should know Zingku “integrates” a mobile phone with a personalised website so that users can easily move (zing) things back and forth between the web and their mobile phones, as well as connect with friends and, optionally, friends of their friends. In addition, Zingku allows companies to create “mobile flyers” and then publish or email a “zing-code” to potential customers, who can then opt to pull the flyer on to their phone and/or forward it to their friends…
So, will we see Google launching its mobile social network? It’s hard to say at this stage, but slowly they’re getting all the pieces together.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
