I read and follow L’Atelier US frequently and was going to feature them in our Like Minded Blogs series… before I do that (and to keep you busy) here is a little tidbit from their site:
Mobile Social Networks Becoming More Popular
Mobile social networking has grown 187 percent in 2007. While we’re still in the early phases of smartphone adoption, almost one-tenth of mobile users (9.6 percent) now use social networks on their phone.
In 2008, there were 147 million mobile social network users worldwide. EMarketer predicts that there will be 803 million in 2012 (18.8 percent of total mobile subscribers), and believes that mobile social networking will play a significant role in mobile marketing
Mobile is the place to be. What about you… do you access social networks while mobile? Is it allowed at work?

Thanks for mentioning us!
Accessing social networks while mobile is a lot harder than from a PC due to screen size and resolution.
But I think with the new iPhone apps coming out making it easier to browse myspace and facebook it would be great to see more use of social networks for work purposes.
