Nokia Beta Labs has released a new experimental social networking client for their S60 range of phones called Friend View. Friend View is described as a “social location service that helps you to keep up with your friends and family, meet them more easily, and randomly share with them what you do and feel.” Basically it is twitter with a GPS updated map. So if you’re trying to network with your friends but can never actually find them check out Friend View and see if that helps.
Download the client and add me as a friend: my username is skribe.
