Social Networking on Mobile; no-thank-you; I’m over 30
Rating: the good old days
by Bena Roberts
I am now totally social networked. I joined several communities on line to test the mobile aspect of the service. The most important thing that I realised is:
1. I am not in the mobile yoof category
2. The sound of SMS alerts beeping all day long is embarrassing not cool
3. In the type of places that I go out – I am sure people thought I was anti-social for having a constantly “twittering” mobile device.
4. I can see why kids like the sound of SMS as it makes you seem popular and engaged.
5. But Me… Oh God!
6. My Interpretation:
7. The phone didn’t stop beeping. My SMS inbox needed to be deleted more than 3 times and the amount of SMS advertising was uncontrollable.
8. More coming in an article but SMS advertising is “too much” and social networking on mobile just isn’t cricket – for anyone over 30 at least.
