Nokia is trying to get into the mobile transactions space with Nokia Money. The service looks to be as simple to use as sending an SMS to a friend. I don’t know about you, but I loathe carrying around cash. Credit cards and debit cards are nice, but signing a piece of paper or entering…

FriendFeed is a service similar to Twitter, but what it does differently is allow you to add the services you’re using so that they can be aggregated and people can comment on them. Back in the day when everyone was using an RSS reader, and Twitter wasn’t even out yet, if I wanted to track…
