Mobispine AB — the Swedish company that developed Mobispine RSS reader or how they like to call it “an intelligent mobile media browser” — has just announced the new Facebook application to enable its users to instantly share interesting news with their Facebook friends directly from their handsets.

Mobispine goes Facebook

The whole system relies on the latest version of Mobispine Java ME-based mobile client and the Facebook application, Mobispine agent, and allows users to publish preferred news from a mobile device directly to their friend’s mobile phones and/or read news and articles shared by their friends.

Commenting on the new feature, Joakim Hilj – Mobispine’s CMO said: “With your Facebook friends as a source of news and information means that content is more relevant for you, the user, as it is selected by a trusted party with whom you have a personal relationship.”

Seems to me Mobispine is getting the point when it comes to social media. And I’m not saying it only because they’re one of our partners…

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.
