T-Mobile adds more social network sites

By Editorial Team (Thursday, 19th June 2008)

Mobile phone network T-Mobile has revealed plans to add two more social networking portals to its handsets.

Bebo and Piczo will join the operator's My Social Sites service, which allows users to manage and edit their profiles direct from their phone.

The application also enables social network members to upload photos from their handsets and can be set up to send out an SMS alert each time their profile is altered.

"Our customers have told us that they want to stay in touch with their social networks wherever they are and My Social Sites allows exactly that," said T-Mobile's Pauline Lunn.

She added that 800 million people are predicted to be accessing social networks from mobile phones by 2012.

As well the new additions, My Social Sites includes the social portals Xanga, LiveJournal, BlackPlanet, Vox and Rabble.

This week, LinkedIn became the latest social network site to be valued at $1 billion (£512 million) by investors.
