[...] Jak donosi O’Reilly Radar, Nokia kupiła Plazes, niemiecki startup starający się stworzyć mobilną sieć społeczną bazującą na informacji o lokalizacji. Plazes umożliwia ustawianie krótkich statusów na temat tego, co robimy, oraz pokazywanie, gdzie aktualnie jesteśmy. Lokalizacja może być ustawiana na wiele sposobów - można ją wpisać na stronie, wysłać SMS lub skorzystać z jednej z kilku możliwości automatycznego wykrywania lokalizacji poprzez Yahoo FireEagle lub aplikację w telefonie (w zeszłym miesiącu Plazes stworzyło m.in. aplikację na iPhone).

Tight integration into mobile devices is key for plazes. The PC plazer was good but of course i don’t have a PC at hand everywhere i go. The shown iPhone solution is a good first step and it’s even better to hear Felix mentioning camera integration. Looking at the iPhone market share over here in Europe i hope that S60 will be the next target for the devs at Plazes.

I really liked dodgeball. When they stopped development, I tried Plazes but it’s mapping is horrendous. I would put my address in for a new location and it would put me on the other side of town and sometimes in other cities, states and even countries that didn’t share any common elements with my location I was entering.

I tried contacting lpazes support but after 3 emails and no response, I gave up. It was too bad too, it could really be a handy tool.

Oops. I meant to write: “I’ve seen more activity in my friend stream on BrightKite in the last two months than I’ve ever seen on Plazes.”

Glad to see they’re still working on their service, and that there’s some iPhone and Twitter integration in the mix. I’ve been using Plazes for over a year, maybe longer, but never could bring many of my friends over. Meanwhile, I’ve seen more activity in my friend stream (and enjoyed actual “someone is nearby” notifications) in the last two months than I’ve ever seen on Plazes.

I said, when BrightKite launched, that it was just reinventing the Plazes wheel. But seizing on the virality of Twitter may have been more than enough for them. Add in BrightKite’s responsiveness to users on its site and GetSatisfaction, and it just feels like a more vibrant company than Plazes.

The end of the video mentioned “10th of June”. Is that when the AppStore is opening? Other “sound reasoning” previously pointed to “late June”/June 29th.
