Mobile Social Networking Application Viability: A Research Framework

PHANG C. W., SUTANTO J., TAN C.-H., ONDRUS Jan

The purpose of this article is to outline a conceptual framework on mobile applications that support social interactions among users to warrant commercial viability of such applications. We build on the social network paradigm to propose an activity-based view on mobile application usage, and theoretically link the pertinent features of mobile social networking applications (MSNAs) to a set of measurement metrics concerning their commercial viability. The conceptual framework formulated highlights how MSNAs can be systematically designed and deployed to ensure their commercial viability. Link to the article
