Here’s one more paid review, this time about a website called Next2Friends. Social networking communities are growing at an amazing rate and it’s no wonder new sites combining elements of Web 2.0 appear almost every day. Next2Friends is a new Communications Platform and mobile based social networking experience that interacts with any mobile device (like a cell phone).

The site combines the video content with social functions - imagine a mixture of YouTube and Facebook focused on mobile devices. The quality of videos is rather low as majority of current cell phones don’t support high resolution video and uses a high compression. There are numerous categories, most of the videos are short funny clips, although you can find also some serious videos. An interesting feature is a service offering live video streaming directly from your cell to the internet. Videos are broadcasted live and then saved to the site for further viewing.

Other features include for example a service called Ask-A-Friend, which is basically a possibility to snap a picture with your mobile phone and then upload it to the site with some question or even a poll (may be useful if you can’t decide which t-shirt to buy). There’s also an official blog with coverage of interesting events, news about mobile content and hand-picked videos. Next2Friends is completely free, you just need to fill out a registration form and you’re ready to use all the features.
