Comment on Xobni for mobiles

Comments

Great idea, with one serious problem though. Xobni data are useful mostly to infer social relationships. You can get the data you need only for smartphones, which are small proportion of all phones. Social data are useful if you don't have big inherent holes in that social graph.

So you need to target smartphones and can't use the social network effect. But you can still add big value to the phone's owner.
