MySpace and Facebook predict a rush on 3G cellphones

A single technology couldn’t start a trend by itself. But a bunch of teenies could spark one. That’s how Charles Golvin, analyst for Forrester Research, sees the forthcoming moves of MySpace.com and Facebook.com social networks from the Internet to mobile phones.

MySpace has already inked a partnership with the wireless reseller Helio. Facebook, earlier this week, announced a deal with Cingular Wireless, Sprint Nextel and Verizon Wireless. In short: every one is moving on the mobile phone market, so will do teenagers and college students, by blogging and chatting on their cellphones and by SMS.
