Over the last few months, we’ve heard increasing noise around the phenomenon that is social networking, particularly sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Flickr to name a few.

Mobile has played a key role, with many social networking sites taking their offerings onto the mobile. Facebook mobile has over four million daily active users. Twitter won’t disclose numbers but its meteoric growth has been monitored in daily newspapers across the globe. Flickr is also increasing its mobile users.

They may then log into another social network, edit their profile, upload several pictures and log out. And then log into another social network. And another. While this access on the go is still more convenient than being only able to access social networks from a PC, it’s still not perfect. As the number of social networks and online communities accessible by mobile continues to grow, the challenge to connect all of these various services together becomes even more important.

They’ll either be able to transfer your data onto the new handset or you can send a link from the new handset to a secure web portal and have your content delivered automatically.
