Nokia tries to bridge the social networking gap with Mosh

Nokia has launched into the beta phase of its own social network, Mosh – the name referring to bad behaviour in crowds, eminem’s anti-bush anthem, Indie music and staying up way, way too late.

In an attempt to bridge the gap with online social networking and mobile, the company says it is, “A user-generated content platform designed specifically for use with any mobile device. Create, upload, collect and share applications (like games, software mashups, videos, blogs, music and photos) all from your mobile.”

See http://mosh.nokia.com and www.mosh.nokia.mobi

Subscribers can then communicate with other Mosh members by SMS or email. Last month Nokia acquired the US-based media sharing service it acquired late last month, but it is not clear whether Mosh is based on Twango’s technology or not.

Just before I go crowd surfing, I’d like to say that when Facebook finally becomes a truly mobile phenomenon, Mosh might well find itself shoved out of the way.

HI Harrison, just had a quick look and it looks interesting but its an amazingly competitive market … I like the business bit best - perhaps you should have just focused on the business and forgot the music etc that others are doing already? But thanks for the tip, bena
