There’s a new social networking site in town, it’s called Hobnobster.
The biggest feature that seems to set this one apart from the others we’re used to is that it’s strength is in mobility and SMS text messaging via your enabled phone. This allows you to quickly find and potentially even meet your online network in person.
Hobnobster can generate quality connections online for you and can help you stay connected particularly when you’re mobile with the use of the text messaging feature of your mobile phone. It’s a fun, exciting and easy to use networking service that enables you to find old friends and create new ones. It can even be an avenue for you to hook up with a potential date or meet Mr. or Miss Right.
Hobnobster addresses the need for mobility with the integration of the text messaging feature as the main communication platform for members. Messages are sent from the web directly to the mobile phone of a member for better and immediate interaction. To liven things up, Hobnobster allows members to send a Hobnobster text smile, text hug,  text flower, anonymous text messages and, of course, personalized text messages as icebreakers. And since we also value your privacy, the application will allow you to block messages from unwanted members.
Personall, I’m just about social networked-out and don’t have any interest in meeting people in real life that I’ve come across online. At least not in any new methods than the communities I’m already a part of currently. But if this is the sort of thing you’re looking for, then this will be exactly the type of service you might be interested in using in the future.
Currently Hobnobster isn’t yet open for beta users, but you can sign-up on their site and they’ll notify you when they’re ready to open the virtual doors.
