Geek Acronym of the Day- MoSoSo

MOSOSO is an acronym for Mobile Social Software, a software that opens an access to a social network with a mobile product (cell phone, blackberry, PDA, etc).

Utilizing Wi-Fi hotspots to connect members, Jambo can determine if a Wi-Fi enabled device such a PDA or laptop is the member of the same group and notify members of each other. The service allows members to anonymously contact each other through messaging systems and if they choose, to introduce themselves with profiles and a real-world introduction. In addition to Wi-Fi hotspots, Jambo also supports using a peer-to-eer network allowing users to find group members while in airplanes, buses or cafes.

I also wrote about Dodgeball.com a while back (who has another service with the same feature), but that company was purchased by Google last year and I have yet to see the technology they utilize be applied in any new fashion within the Google family.
