Making money with twitter. Already?

May8

screenshotTwitBin seems to be willing to make money over the growingly popular twitter micro blogging / IM / sms platform. After a huge development of 2 weeks, according to techcrunch, their product is ready and making money ;)
Interesting to see a pre-ecosystem on a product/company that is not making a buck yet.

Note: Grr, can’t get it to work on my macbook/firefox!!!

Nokia introduces mobile widgets. Again…

April16

nokia web run timeAs can be seen on their official blog and on their product info Nokia is introducing a new widgets solution, dedicated to S60 3rd edition handsets.
A closer look at it explains things better: They are providing a stand alone web applications using their browser (yes you get the awkard mouse moving mechanisms also ;)).
The solution is not available yet anyway.
Several open questions remain:

  • Is Nokia’s Widsets still a priority? If so, why a second initiative?
  • What do all the other manufacturers do? Will they all provide a proprietary solution?

One thing’s for sure, this creates even more mobile widgets awareness and this is very positive.
My guess is that Nokia may be the first to announce, but will not be the first to market, stay tuned in the coming days ;)

Update from allaboutsymbian: “Nokia has gone widget-mad, introducing full widget (mini-apps built on Ajax and Javascript) support into S60, beginning with S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 (so we’re looking at next year for the first devices with full widget support)
