Not just text messages, but even movies and music on the cellphone are an integral part of networking these days. Everyone wants to be the first to know about the events which are important to them. That is mobile networking is a popular. Sites like www.mozes.com have dedicated mobile networks for music where one can text the artists name and join a mob and get instant updates about the artists they like. So I think cell phones are the next big networking arena. I agree that cellphones have become a major source of networking.

They are on target and it's not just photos that keep teens interested. They want to stay connected to the social circle. Pew Internet survey reports (http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/230/report_display.asp) that teens use multiple channels and that those who use social networking sites have not decreased their face to face interactions. It just so happened I blogged about teenagers use of Facebook (http://blog.aafromaa.com/2008/01/teens-use-of-social-networking-sites.html) I am no marketing expert, but I think that depending on one outlet or one communication marketing tool is short-sighted. But as your post indicates, we often underestimate the power of text messaging (for teens and adults). Nice post, Anne I guess because I am the mother of teenagers, I am not surprised with your observations. They are on target and it’s not just photos that keep teens interested.

I live near a college campus and any trip into a computer lab will show that about 50-60% of the people there are on either Facebook or MySpace. Does this mean that you could get any of them to click on ads, not a chance but they are there. What your example shows is that teens don't give a hoot about the mobile web and that they love photos. Both of these points are absolutely true. The big question as a marketer is whether any of these teens can actually be -sold- anything while they are playing around on their phones. Great article mate! I am going to have to disagree about the Facebook/MySpace thing while wholeheartedly agreeing about the cell phones.
