Nokia acquires Cellity to accelerate social networking

The recently announced acquisition of German startup Cellity was completed today. Good news for Nokia as it takes us towards a goal we have had for a while - getting more out of the most important social network that you own (ie the contacts book on your phone) by connecting it with the new breed of social networks that are today better at leveraging the many faceted advantages of the web as a platform.
Welcome the @cellity team, and congrats to my colleague Ed (@simnett) and the team, who disproved that myth that nothing gets done in July.

What happens when Internet connected mobile devices, contextually-aware services and stubbornly organic and unpredictable people meet? I don't know but that's what this blog is about.
I'm working as a consultant on mobile, new media and healthcare projects and live with my wife in Upper West Side, New York.
