Mobile Web Server

Nokia is exploring a wide array of social networking options for mobile, one of the latest is “Mobile Web Server”. Basically a web sharing interface between your mobile and any web browser. Download & install the mobile web server to your Symbian S60 “Media computer” (smartphone as Nokia are now calling them) and then securely share your phones contents and applications over the Internet – accessed via a web browser at http://mymobilesite.net

Interesting concept – requires mega 3G data connection or WiFi. Response was somewhat tardy using 3G. Will also obviously seriously reduce battery life – but worth exploring its potential. A lot of the social networking can be achieved in many other ways…

JOOST

Joost is a relatively new online (free) TV service, with over 256 channels – it looks really good! Joost is slowly incorporating social networking widgets into it’s player interface (available for Mac & PC). The free view is paid for by pop-up advertising. Joost requires a good broadband connection with a decent data cap and a relatively new computer with a decent graphics card (not sure how the MacBooks will fare, but the MacBook Pro works great!).

I enjoyed some Aardman animations and some SciFi last night . Apparently there is integration planned for Meebo & Joost for social networking!
