I was quite surprised to see that we are using the same wiki platform that I used when in IrishJobs-Twiki. Its a pretty serious platform, but its different from MediaWiki, which runs my wiki. I keep getting mixed up with formatting :)

Similar to the public available social bookmarking tools, there is also a Nokia bookmarking tool, which is very useful for a new person like me, who has to find his way around an absolute massive abundance of information.

Included here, of course is the Nokia Intranet which powers a whole other range of internal forums and discussion groups.

Lots of interesting things to follow. There are more social tools in the pipeline apparently, so more to see!

Alot of these tools can be seen, in different formats in the tools being released for the Nokia mobile devices. The biggest I have found so far being the Podcast tool..which really works well. Whos team has a blog by the way.

Its quite interesting because the useful Internet based tools that I use almost everyday (wikis, social bookmarks, blogs, RSS feeds) are all available internally to Nokia staff.

While it would be good to see more Nokia people with externally available blogs, I guess this will come over time.

Very nice to see that Nokia, again, is about "Connecting People," whether those people are customers or employees. I would love to be able to read the internal Nokia blogs and talk to the guys doing research, and marketing. One of these days I want to show the world what Nokia is all about via video, similar to what Robert Scoble did when he worked at Microsoft. That may be a pipe dream, but I love channel 9. Enough geeking out, I’m glad to see that people in the company can communicate with each other in an organized way. It’s a terrible thing when two teams working on different projects don’t even know the other exists. While the guys working on new wireless radios may have little to do with the guys who make magazine ads, there has to be a union of direction and passion within the company.
