MocoSpace - more mobile than most
It's interesting to see how Google seems stuck, trying but never succeeding with mobile advertizing, despite how incredibly simple it would be for them.
Equally interesting is it to see how hard it seems for existing communities like MySpace and Facebook to go mobile.
What's the problem? Stuck in "stone age" PC browser thinking? Not understanding what a fully-featured device a mobile phone is? Are they already getting rigid, focusing on the bottom line and investor interests? I don't know.
In any case, MocoSpace seems to happily endorse mobile, and according to a note from Andrea Boone at MocoSpace, members increased from 2 to 3 million in the last 6 months.
