Warm up your Twitter fingers, the latest Nokia Messaging for Social Networks beta has now added support for Twitter, making tweeting even more convenient from the homescreen of your Nokia handset.
Back in September 2009, we introduced the first iteration of the social networking beta that let people view, post, and comment on messages, share their location and status while keeping up with their Facebook friends right from their Nokia handsets. This was only the start. The majority of the feedback given by beta testers was to add support for other social networking communities (Twitter, done! More to come!) Testers also asked for enhancements to the Facebook functionality. We took your advice and have added these new features:
Upload pictures and videos
Events: View upcoming events, birthdays and import to device calendar
Search friends
Click-to-call / click-to-SMS / click-to-FB Email
We invite you to download and test drive this social networking client from Nokia Beta Labs. This is an early preview, currently available on Nokia N97, Nokia N97 Mini, and Nokia 5800 devices, we will support more devices in the future. We also invite you to visit http://messaging.nokia.com to see what’s available for your device from Nokia Messaging.
