14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia, the Finnish world leader in mobile communications, has announced today the launching of its Web 2.0 type of service, the WidSets, that allows the customers to have direct access to website and user generated content, RSS feeds and also receive updates from their favorite sites without visiting them innumerable times a day.
Dieter May, Vice President and Head of Nokia Emerging Business Unit has said that " immediate access to information is expected by people today, thus we wanted to make it easy for everybody, from an individual blogger to a web service provider, to automatically have mobile access to website content. We also believe WidSets will be attractive to new users who are not so familiar with Web 2.0. The easiest way to get started is to visit the WidSets website at www.widsets.com, create an account, browse the Library, and start exploring the service."
The WidSets service allows users to build a collection of RSS feeds, blogs or photo uploading websites, that is automatically updated whenever one of its information sources is updated on the web. This service can be accessed from any type of Java enabled mobile phone, and offers the users the possibility to work on a new type of environment formed with the help of the symbiotic relationship between the web and WidSets service itself.
Dieter May has also declared that "we wanted WidSets to be fun to use, so we based the user interface on great-looking and dynamic mini-applications called widgets that automatically receive updates from websites that people normally visit several times a day. Whenever the information on a community, blog, or news service is updated, the widget notifies the user about it, so that the information can be viewed right away, regardless of where the user is located. And if users can't find their favorite internet service on WidSets, they can easily create and publish widgets themselves, and share the content with others."
Overall, this new Web 2.0 service from Nokia is the piece that kept users all over the world to have a seamless interaction with the World Wide Web, without having to spend any time watching how a web page is loading. This is now done automatically, with no intervention whatsoever from the mobile phone user, and it most probably works like a charm.
