Checked out MobiLuck? I went to visit them in Paris a while ago. They’ve got a hot understanding of the potential of mobile social networking and their service is extremely neat.

They’ve made the following updates to their online service:

- See people who have recently connected even if they’re not currently online
- A RADAR to find all your friends and new people nearby
- Search for people by age and gender, whether they’re connected, and whether they’ve uploaded their picture (important for checking out the good-lookers!)
- Search for people and places using tags or keywords
- Invite your friends to join in

The key challenge I have with MobiLuck is that it doesn’t yet seem to be available for Series 3 Symbian handsets — so for me, testing and playing with it is rather difficult.

On the plus side, the service is available for hundreds.. literally hundreds of different handsets.

And they’ve got a huge installed base. Millions.

I’ll ask the chap who’s speaking about Jaiku tomorrow about MobiLuck and see what he says.
