A company called Proximate Global launched face2face, a mobile application that consolidates multiple social networks — including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and MySpace — on a single platform. The main idea is to add location to the mix and eventually enable face to face meetings (hence the name).
Of course, as you don’t want to meet all of your online buddies in the real world, face2face comes with flexibility and easy privacy control, allowing you to make yourself available to some friends, and not to others, on an individual basis. However, if you decide to do so, you can still meet new people as face2face supports the “friends of friends” feature.
In a nutshell, face2face isn’t another social network – it’s touted as a solution that improves existing ones while saving you from the arduous process of building another new network. All you have to do is download the face2face app to your device, insert your social network usernames and passwords and let face2face do its magic. The application is available for the iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and many J2ME compatible devices (coming soon)…

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.
