Nokia Aquires Social Media Site Twango - (think flickr + youtube + podshow + xdrive)
Well the interweb was buzzing last night with the news that Nokia has acquired a social media sharing site Twango, which is a “multi media” sharing site that can handle 101+ file types from video, pictures, mp3’s etc.
i’ve set up an account there to try out and it looks pretty interesting, one thing i will say the multi file drag and drop is killer, here’s a screenshot where I dragged videos and photos on the same window and uploaded them all together, no muss no fuss. Not sure if that’s the killer app, but it was a damn sight easier than going to two sites and uploading all the files together.
It seems to me that the technology is rock solid and what needs work is the stewarding of the culture that will drive this social network.
Here’s my fav pic from the motoGP last weekend:
HUGE DISCLAIMER: Yes I work for Nokia, but this is my personal opinion, i’m not connected in any way with the Twango work (although I’m not saying I wouldn’t like to hint hint 
Oh, and PS with Mashable, Readwriteweb, and GigaOM on it where the hell is techcrunch in all this? Did they not bother covering it because they didn’t scoop it?
