Apple’s MobileMe to take on FaceBook, Foursquare and Ustream.


report is stating that MobileMe will be revamped into a all in one social media outlet. It will be able to track current location, show recently listened to iTunes tracks, currently used apps, show uploaded photos and stream video.
It will use a recently awarded patent called iGroups to notify you and your group when your near each other.
Your information will have strict privacy rules allowing you to share as much or as little information as you want.
Here’s what their source had to say:
“The concept is that you would have you own website that’s dynamic, all based on what you are doing at that moment,” said our source. “Apple thinks of it as having a webserver in your pocket… everything will be dynamically updated to MobileMe.”
recent rumor also states that you will be able to store your personal media into MobileMe for free.
If Ping is a hint towards Apple’s knowledge of social networking then this might be a bad idea. Hopefully they knock it out of the park.
