Nice guys Jyri Engestrom and Petteri Kopone, the founders of mobile social networking company Jaiku, have sold their company to Google. Yahoo is beta-testing social network Mash. And some tells Google going to buy Yahoo ;)
David Filo, co-founder of Yahoo! Inc in 1995 says: 'The idea that people use mobile devices only for voice calls will change. Though text messages and voice calls will continue to drive the business, complex services and applications will arrive on the mobile devices. In the coming years, we can see people shifting from mere voice services to data services and other applications. They will be spending more on these new services. The second area, which will drive the Internet, is the community and social space. User generated content is bringing a lot of people together. This momentum will gain strength in the coming days.'

Mobile social networking madness reached beaches of Google. As we remember Google bought a tiny mobile social network called dodgeball. Soon its founders Dennis Crowley and Alex Rainert left G. And today G buys next mobile social network - Zingku, that integrates txt messaging, IM, email. As we see Google buys mobile technologies. Maybe doesn't buy, but collects them, as a smart collector does.
