AT&T Inc.  has just announced  the launch of "My Communities," a new downloadable gateway that lets users create and manage multiple social networking accounts through a single dashboard view on their mobile phone.

My Communities was developed by Intercasting Corporation, a leading mobile social networking company. The launch coincides with recent data showing that a majority of social networking users maintain multiple accounts and that a growing number are maintaining their social networks primarily by using wireless handsets.

Uh….Where’s FaceBook?

At first glace this looks great, but digging deeper into this, even with MySpace, Xanga, LiveJournal and many more, FaceBook somehow fell off the face of this offering.

A few cool features though:

• Through My Communities, subscribers can register for social sites directly from their phone without ever having to go to the Web, a feature not common with most other social networking applications
• From an easy-to-use dashboard view, My Communities users can upload photos from their phone, view and respond to new messages, approve and deny friend requests and view and post new comments across multiple sites. Users can alternatively click to enter a specific site for a more customized experience. Updates are synched across mobile and online channels in real time.
• Subscribers can also access their phone, camera, media gallery and address book while My Communities is running, which enables them, for example, to upload photos to use on one or more social networks and send site content to phone contacts without closing the application.

If you have an iPhone, you can download most free Social Networking sites and not have to pay for this type of service.

My Communities is available on more than 30 devices for a monthly subscription of $2.99. It can be downloaded from the AT&T MEdia Mall, accessible via AT&T handsets and online at www.att.com/mediamall.

My suggestion:  upgrade to the iPhone and get on any major social network for free.

Jangl has gained another parter in PerfSpot, the fast-growing social networking site. With over 8 million youth-oriented members, PerfSpot is the perfect distribution partner for Jangl’s VoIP service, which has been spreading its “call” buttons across the web thanks to its partnerships with other networks like Bebo, Match.com, Plentyoffish and Tagged, to name just a few.

Named an Amazon mover and shaker, as well as one of the fastest growing-sites in the UK, PerfSpot has the target demographic that’s already active on the social networking circuit, and is more adept to utilizing services like Jangl for text messaging, voice calls, and voicemail. Of course, one of the largest benefits to Jangl’s service is the ability to connect with people without having to share your own phone number, thus protecting the privacy of the users involved.

This additional partnership is also good for Jangl’s VoIP ads, which are run through its recently launched ad network across its partner sites. Mark will be doing a podcast with Jangl’s CEO to discuss some of the bigger trends with consumer voice and social networking, so be on the lookout for the show, right here on Mashable.

Another way to get users to use voice or VoIP. SpinVox has managed to do what other Voice or VoIP providers failed to notice. Get people to blog or twitter over voice. I think I wrote about spinvox technology being used with Skype to blog. Wonder why I did not hear about it much?
