MoBubble To Help Connect With Consumers With Service Providers

MoBubble looks to be an interesting and really useful iPhone app that is currently in beta test. From reading their blog I believe users can expect a slick app that will connect people with businesses in your local area.

Consumers would be able to see who is offering what in their area and businesses can find what people are looking for. You really could build a business based on what people need, but are not getting. The app should also be simple for consumers to search and find services they require. A reputation system will be part of it along with many other features, including social integration.

I hope an Android app will follow and that there will be a web interface. You can follow their progress on Twitter and Facebook. Founded by Stephen Boyd, John Eisberg, and David Knell. Like many new technology companies it's success depends on wide (or regional) adoption, heavy promotion, and time.

Facebook for Every Phone Launches

It was only a matter of time for Facebook to make use of its acquisition of Snaptu. The technology allows them to offer a version of Facebook on over 2,500 different phones that are not in the "smart phone" category. The Facebook for Every Phone app will be available on Java-enabled phones today, with it being available on other handsets later. This move will vastly expand their mobile engagement and therefore use of the social network in general.

You can download the Facebook app by visiting m.facebook.com and scrolling down to the download link, or by going directly to d.facebook.com/install using your mobile browser. You can also find it in many app stores like GetJar, Appia, and Mobile Weaver. Data cost are involved, but Facebook has work with many carriers to allow for a 90 day free trial (more info).
