Samsung Plans to Launch It’s Own Social Networking Service

Based on a report from The Korea Times, Samsung is going to debut a social network that a Samsung official says will compete with Facebook. They noted that the project is called in no subtle terms, “Samsung Facebook”. They don’t seem to be hiding the fact that the project is definitely geared toward a Facebook-like feel. Well there is no hard evidence on what this all entails, but it has been confirmed that it should go live in the Q1 of next year. Samsung’s idea is to have this social network span across their many internet ready devices for consumers.

It’s quite hard to say that this project, ‘Samsung Facebook’ could ever be real competition for the social giant Facebook in my opinion, but what’s another social network? Go ahead and toss it right in there with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+?  Whatever your feelings are on this move, Samsung is going to give it a shot.

    You know… all I really want to be is one of Samsung’s lawyers. They must make more money than the CEO. I wonder if they use the Jedi mind trick on the board of directors to get them to approve projects that are a virtual lock to tie them up in messy litigation for years to come.

    *waves hand* “You will develop your own social network and call it, ‘Samaung Facebook.’ Also, your next tablet will come in white and you will call it… hell, just call it the iPad. If you need clarification I will be at our headquarters, the Trump Tower. Any questions? Excellent.”
