Nokia today announced the acquisition of Twango, a media sharing provider for organizing and sharing photos, videos and other personal media. By acquiring Twango, Nokia will be able to offer people an easy way to share multimedia content through their desktop and mobile devices. Twango, a privately-owned company founded by former Microsoft veterans, is headquartered in Redmond, WA.
Twango's platform makes organizing, sharing, and republishing media such as photos, videos and audio clips easy. Unlike many other social media services, Twango supports multiple media types and offers options for people to manage, share, and repurpose their personal media content. Twango offers a destination experience on desktop computers and mobile devices, as well as a platform that allows developers to create companion applications, connect with mobile devices, and integrate with other Web services.
Equipped with cameras and mobile broadband connections, Nokia devices have changed the way people create content, blog and participate in online communities. In 2006, Nokia sold over 140 million connected cameras, and its devices are rapidly becoming the world's primary source of images and videos. Nokia offers people new media sharing experiences, such as combining GPS-based location information with photos and videos.
