Mobile Community
A network of interpersonal ties that provides sociability, support, information, a sense of belonging, social identity, and which always connects its members regardless of where they go.
It's important to note that location, time and resources are not necessary constraints on membership or participation in a mobile community. However, the community may choose to form based on intended restriction of those variables. For example, a member of a mobile community of green architects can connect with others at any time of the day, even if she's on top of a mountain in Peru, and share information and some material resources if desired. On the other hand a mobile community might form around graphic designers being available for a drink after 5pm in New York. The limitations are less due to restrictions of the physical world and more due to the desires of the members.

Location based Mobile Social Software Defined
LoMoSos = MOSOSO + LBS
A mobile social software that uses the technology of a location based service. Coupling Mososo and LBS provides efficiency and can identify people in your social network anywhere in the world, as opposed to identifying people solely within your vicinity. LoMoSos will make identifying users location easier and more efficient. For instance if you are walking down the street and want to meet your friends at JOE’s pub, send a message saying you will be waiting at Joe’s Pub. If you do not have LBS with your MOSOSO, you will have to specify which Joe’s Pub you are waiting at—the one on 4th street or on 42nd steet? Or the one in Los Angeles? the one in New York? However, with LBS the system locates you automatically letting you and others know exactly which Joe’s pub you will be waiting at.

Location based Service (LBS) Defined
A service provided to the subscriber based on their current geographic location. This position can be known by user entry or a GPS receiver that he or she carries, but most often the term implies the use of a location through radio waves, also known as a radiolocation function, which is built into the cell network or handset. The radiolocation function uses triangulation between the known geographic coordinates of the base stations through which the communication takes place. One implication is that knowledge of the coordinates is owned and controlled by the network operator, and not by the end user herself. Examples of location based services might include finding the closest Italian restaurant. The ability of the restaurant to send an invitation to bypassers has also been mentioned, even though this might be regarded as unsolicited commercial email or spamming. Linked technology also allows someone to identify the location of a mobile phone user to within a few yards or metres. This is especially useful when dialing an emergency telephone number, such as enhanced 9-1-1 in North America, so that the operator can dispatch emergency police or firefighting services to the correct location. In the U.S. the FCC requires all new phones have this capability, and that the user be able to easily turn it off for all non-emergency uses (wikipedia).

Social Software Defined
SOSO: Social softwares are networks that allow people to come together online around shared interests or causes. Social software applications help to connect friends, business partners, or other individuals together using a variety of tools. In these communities, an initial set of founders sends out messages inviting members of their own personal networks to join the site. New members repeat the process, growing the total number of members and links in the network. Sites then offer features such as automatic address book updates, viewable profiles, the ability to form new links through "introduction services," and other forms of online social connections. An example of a social software is LinkedIn. The focus of this SOSO targets professionals seeking to network and find job opportunities, people to employ, and other business related endeavors. Participants of this particular SOSO have a profile and can submit a resume (CV). They contact others on the network he or she is affiliated or personally knows and can start networking online, asking friends to introduce them to potential employers, etc. Another example of a SOSO is Match.com, which specializes in helping members find romance in a safe environment via social networking. Members create a profile; completed with a picture, interests, and general information about themselves and can chat with members on the network in hopes of finding a compatible partner.
