ENUM: Linking Bebo with Facebook?

Popular social networking sites like facebook and Bebo are changing the human fabric of the Internet and the way we interact with each other. MySpace, with over 200 million visitors, has become the digital equivalent of hanging out at the mall, coffee shop or bars. Users load these sites with photos, news about music groups and detailed profiles of their likes and dislikes.

London (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- Popular social networking sites like facebook and Bebo are changing the human fabric of the Internet and the way we interact with each other.

MySpace, with over 200 million visitors, has become the digital equivalent of hanging out at the mall, coffee shop or bars. Users load these sites with photos, news about music groups and detailed profiles of their likes and dislikes.

The missing component is something that links all the different groups together, allowing users to connect to friends on other social networks without having to continually change or migrate themselves.

Now, using ENUM, the 87810 global number as a unique personal identifier will allow these disparate communities to be connected to each other and at the same time provide users with voice, SMS and Multi-media services and the freedom to change their social network provider without losing contact with their friends and colleagues.

The social networks are global and consequently they can greatly benefit from global services like UPT +87810

"We expect to see this functionality added to the social networking sites in the near future and are working closely with this community to develop further features and services" explained Vincent Bergin, Director at Enum2go.

In all, an estimated 300 sites, including smaller ones such as StudyBreakers for high schoolers and Buzznet, (a site for music and pop culture), make up part of the social network universe. The lines which clearly defined the demographic of the various networks are now becoming blurred and what was once a network for business may become more general and vice versa.
