I’m not sure I’ve seen something like this before. Yeah, there are Java ME clients for some mobile social networks, but the idea behind V-Circles is that all the action is on the client. You create or join existing communities from your phone without logging to the actual website.
To put things in perspective, here’s an example how V-Circles can be used as a mobile dating platform:
“Jackie lives in Chelsea but finds it hard to meet decent guys. She downloads V-CIRCLES DATING for free and simply joins a mobile dating V-Circle named West End V-Circle. She then goes out on a few dates with some of the guys in the V-Circle but reckons they ain’t good enough for her. She then decides to form her own private dating V-Circle called Chelsea Singles to improve the quality. Using the application, she invites 5 of her best friends to join Chelsea Singles. They download the free application, and join her V-CIRCLE. Her friends then invite their friends to join the V-CIRCLE too. Now there are over 200 like-minded people living in the Chelsea area who are part of her V-CIRCLE. Jackie and her friends arrange all their dates through the Chelsea Singles. Jackie prefers V-CIRCLES DATING over other dating communities as people can only join by invitation only and she can arrange all her dates discretely on her mobile phone.”
As an alternative, Jackie can send her photos to IntoMobile team and we’ll see whether we can hook her up or not.

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.
