iPling for iPhone 3G , best iphone app for Networking
The latest iPhone software to cause a buzz on the 3G version of Apple’s favorite gadget is iPling. While it is definitely a member of the wide group known as iPhone apps, you won’t find this in the same place as a lot of other iPhone apps. It will not appear, for example, in the Apple App store; you can only get iPling straight from the maker’s site.
What does iPling do? Essentially it’s a social networking application designed specifically for use with 3G enabled iPhones. Rather creepily it allows anonymous users to contact and discuss shared interests. Fortunately iPling manages to keep your phone number and email address from the other person: they only find out sensitive information about you if you give it to them.
Like many iPhone apps its use is going to be subject to fads; like any social network it will rely on a critical mass of people who are going to use this before it becomes usable. Other iPhone apps suffer the same problem.
The iPhone is a gadget that targets a particular corner of the market very actively; unfortunately it only corners that section of the market and you’ve got to ask just how successful you think a social networking app will be in that context.
