Social Networking and dating

Cupid has part-exchanged his bow and arrow for a mobile phone as over half of today’s singles (54%) are finding love through social networking, according to a poll by Wadja, the mobile web, media and messaging service. 

The research of 500 social networkers across Europe into mobile living and mobile social networking, indicates that 37% of users flirt, organise their love life and meet new people through social networking. 

58% of those interviewed use social networking to keep in touch with friends and 87% say their social lives would suffer without it. Only 5% believe their social life would not be affected without access to social networking sites.

Yahoo + Microsoft against Google’s Android

It will be interesting to see what will happen with the mobile internet including mobile social networks when Microsoft will succeed in acquiring Yahoo. The combination Yahoo (maps, advertisements, email and mobile search) and Microsoft (operating system and Business community) controlling a lot of desktops could be a match made in heaven for Microsoft. At this moment I do not think it will benefit the consumer.
