It seems that getting a piece of “Facebook action” is just not enough for Microsoft’s social networking plans. Now, they went ahead acquiring technology from web and mobile social networking service WebFives. In case you’re not familiar with WebFives, it’s a social network focused on mobile content like videos, music and photos; that allows users to access their site both via computer or using a mobile phone.
Anyway, as a result of acquisition (we don’t have a dollar figure), WebFives will be closing its virtual doors to the end-users, who should now (according to WebFives) start using MSN Spaces and/or Windows Live for their social networking experience. Guess that was also included in the price…

Dusan Belic
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.
