Android: The Social Network Revolution

But there’s another Google project called Open Social, what it does is allow developers to produce web-applications cross-platform and allowing users to migrate from one network to another keeping the same data over the next social network as well.
That’s a really good idea, imagine you, taking with you all your MySpace applications, don’t matter which network you’re going to? It would be great. But FaceBook didn’t join the idea atleast until now, you can see some heavy names on the other side, just as Orkut, MySpace, Plaxo and many small ones though (see more).
The Android OS could bring something different, a widgets based social network. A place where you can interact with your applications all the time and this application interacting with your social network don’t really matter with network you’re in. Which It’s a big deal for me.
I definitely would like to bring my social network application where ever I want, interact with my blog, application on the go through the full browser capability or a good widget interface into my mobile.
Applications to share whatever you want like photos, texts, contacts, music and video, which by the way will bring DRM issue, will come up certainly. In deed we can do it all nowadays but with a poor interface even on a high end mobile or with your laptop and on the both cases without the GPS. But one great thing is, using Android devices will make you be able to have a sort of GPS feature even though you don’t have indeed, because Google developed a software that using “cell towers” information it can give your proximity location (see more). That’s just another why, I believe the GPS devices as we know today will be destroyed or will change completely. Because if they don’t change the next "Motorola"(which is losing invertidors day after day) will be the GPS companies. Good luck for them.
