Nokia Beta Labs has recently released the beta version of Friend View. A location and micro-blogging service that helps you stay in touch with your friends and family so you can update one another with what you are doing and where you are doing it.
Here’s a video to show you how it works.
You can actually update your status… what you are doing… how you feel.. who you are meeting.. or simply just post a note and let your friends know where you are using the Friend View app on your phone or the web version of the service.
This is how it looks like on the my phone. Just installed it a few minutes ago.
You can view your friends’ updates via map view or list view under the “What’s Up” List.
If you feel like updating it via web, you can too!
See how accurate it is showing my location on the map… Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil.. thats where I am now. ahaha
Quick! Download the app and start updating your status on Friend View!
Remember to add me as a friend! My username is.. obviously… “smashpop” ahah
FriendView is currently compatible with Nokia 5320 XpressMusic, 6110 Navigator, 6210 Navigator, N95, N95 8GB, N82, N96, E71, E90, N80 and E61. Should work on all Nokia devices based on S60 3rd Edition.
