Beta Labs – Nokia Pulse (WP, Symbian, Web)

Another post I pushed back due to the heavy traffic of Nokia World.

It seems Beta Labs have pushed out a new social network tool they are calling Nokia Pulse. It was another product I’ve heard was shown off at Nokia World.

According to Nokia it “brings your everyday conversations to life by automatically tagging photos and updates with your location.”

The features of this new social network tool is as follows:

Group Conversations:
Keep it Private. Keep it Personal. Keep it Real.

• Private check in – All your conversations stay private and safe
• Photo check in – Automatically tag your location to all your photo updates
• Private by Default – No complicated privacy settings needed

Live Places:
One tap and they know where you are. Two taps to get you there.

• Bring your favorite places to life – Post a favorite place to a conversation
• Discover what’s nearby – Make and view recommendations of nearby places of interest
• Getting there is a snap – Get directions directly from the recommended place

Your People:
Your Family. Your People. You Decide.

• Instant: Receive instant on-device notifications of all new updates
• Open:  Everyone with an email address can participate
• Easy:  Sending and receiving messages with Nokia Pulse is as easy as SMS
• Powered by the cloud: Your conversations are saved in the cloud for as long as you need them
• Accessible from anywhere: Nokia Pulse is available on multiple touch-points – desktop web, mobile web, Windows Phone and Symbian devices

Something I find interesting is the choice of already including Windows Phone in this Beta Product, only hours after announcement. Yet, after a few months, the N9 still has nothing, nor is it featured in this trial.
