No wonder Nokia allowed Google to swallow Jaiku – they’ve been preparing to launch their own micro-blogging service, which we’re presenting you today.
The so called Nokia Friend View combines micro-blogging with location-based information, allowing users not only to share their thoughts but also their location. That (location sharing) could be done either automatically using GPS or network-based location, or manually by entering your location.
Shout out: Hey, Stefan! Looking good!
The service is actually a service-application combo, which combines a web-based interface with an S60 application. This in turn gives users an option to update their status either from their mobile phone or from their their computer.
Since Nokia Friend View is released through Beta Labs, we can’t say it’s a mature app ready for prime time. Still, it “gets the job done” and folks behind it are eager to hear any comments you may have.
A short introductory video about Nokia Friend View featuring our friend Stefan follows after the jump.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
