Online social networking today is more about hanging out with friends behind gated communities than exploring the World Wide Web: Visit another site and you will have to rebuild your profile from scratch.<\/p>\n


\nThats like having to get a new drivers license for every state you drive through.<\/p>\n


\nAlthough the walls that keep users from taking their data wherever they go are starting to erode, how much three recently announced programs will help users move among the networks remains to be seen. Google Inc. This attempt to break those fortifications was quickly blocked by Facebook.<\/p>\n


\nThe two leading online hangouts, News Corps MySpace and Facebook, have promised to release tools in the coming weeks for Web sites to incorporate profile data, friends lists and other social functions. Google followed with its own program for bridging various networks.<\/p>\n


\nMySpace users, for instance, can soon have their biographical information appear on eBay Inc. profiles. A social network focused on skiing will be able to incorporate Facebook photos and friends list rather than build its own.<\/p>\n


\nIts all done through software hooks that let eBay and others grab profile data from MySpace and Facebook. Changes made at MySpace and Facebook are quickly propagated because third-party sites cant store the data and must check back frequently.<\/p>\n


\nThe new programs come as users increasingly complain about having to retype basic profile information over and over. By holding onto users information while letting them bring temporary copies of it elsewhere, Facebook and MySpace can remain at the core of users social interactions and keep them from leaving.<\/p>\n


\nMore important than saving keystrokes, the programs bring along the meaning and connections behind the data, allowing social circles to travel from site to site, much as friends going bar hopping together dont have to start conversations afresh at each pub. <\/p>\n


\nPeople who use their cellphones to surf the web tend to steer to social networking sites like myspace and facebook ahead of news, maps or weather.<\/p>\n


\nThe Norway-based software firm – which says its mobile browser, Opera Mini, is the world’s most popular – studied the Internet habits of more than 44 million Opera Mini users worldwide and reports there are major differences in how people use the mobile web. Opera says it looked at aggregated data.<\/p>\n


\nWorldwide, some 40 per cent of mobile web traffic heads to social networks and one-fourth to content portals or search engines, Opera said. In the United States, South Africa and Indonesia, 60 per cent of mobile web traffic clicks lead to social networks.<\/p>\n


\nHere are other patterns the company’s research revealed: Russian and Ukrainian users flock to entertainment and sports sites; Chinese choose search engines first; and Brits check e-mail more than others, while Germans shop the most on the mobile web – though both uses remain small.<\/p>\n


\nChief executive Jon von Tetzchner said the company has its highest market shares in Russia, Ukraine and Indonesia where an inexpensive cellphone may be the only form of web access for many people. Opera attracts between 20 per cent and 25 per cent of mobile web users in Russia, which is its biggest market.<\/p>\n


\nHe said the first programs to offer web services on phones – wireless application protocol or WAP browsers – “did a lot of damage” because their stripped-down web access and focus on text information like news deterred many possible mobile web users.<\/p>\n


\nThat is changing as programs like Opera’s Mini browser compress full websites for mobile use and users are now increasingly checking out the same kind of content on their phones that they would from a desktop computer.<\/p>\n


\n“It really is one web, with people using whichever device they choose to connect to the Internet,” von Tetzchner said.<\/p>\n


\nOpera says “full web surfing” now makes up some 77 per cent of all mobile web traffic, squeezing out WAP and mobi services.<\/p>\n


\nOpera Mini was used by 11.9 million people in March, the company said. It is more widely used than Apple Inc.’s Safari for the iPhone and proprietary software on Nokia phones and BlackBerry devices from Research in Motion Ltd.<\/p>\n


\nDrivers in the U.S. can now warn fellow drivers with a cell phone or personal digital assistant about speed traps . There’s a new mobile cell phone social network that aims to share information and help members avoid getting speeding tickets. Users receive alerts as they approach highway radar detection.<\/p>\n


\nThe Trapster service, which bills itself as a speed-trap sharing system, is easy to use. When you’re driving near a radar trap, you simply hit “#1” on your phone. This will then alert Trapster and will save the GPS location to alert other motorists who use the same route.<\/p>\n


\nFor cellphones with screens, members can also see a road map of specific speed traps clearly marked.<\/p>\n


\nInformation about red-light cameras and where police tend to operate speed traps is kept in Trapster’s database while active speed trap locations are kept for a short time.<\/p>\n


\nTo discourage bogus locations, users can rate others on the accuracy of their contributions. Those who get better ratings carry more weight.<\/p>\n


\nTrapster can be used with about 10 wireless platforms, including Nokia’s smart phones, BlackBerry units from Research In Motion and devices using Microsoft’s Windows Mobile.<\/p>\n
