Nokia Connection 2008 Day 2: Share on Ovi Updates
Hey this guy, Keith Liu funny. He’s the head of Games and Communities Services for Nokia. This is an update on what Nokia has been doing with Ovi, about a year after it was announced. Should be interesting as well.
Timeline follows. Latest entry is at the top.
## Lunch time!
## For pornography and other “questionable items” images can be flagged. Nokia does not monitor or moderate content. The community works to flag images and reports them to Nokia, who, in turn removes them in half an hour to 12 hours.
## Uploading of photos demo. You can comment via website or via your mobile phone. Ovi page very similar to Flickr if I may reiterate. It even shows EXIF data of photos. if location tracking it turned on in the phone, GPS, Assisted GPS or cell ID kicks in and determines geotagging data. Nokia does not own copyright to these images. Photographs belong to the one who took it.
## Demo of Share on Ovi mobile site. Basically the same thing, but smaller.
## Ovi allows you to use widgets, similar to Flickr and post your slideshow on your blog.
## (checks Ovi site. Hmm looks like I’ve signed up for this before). Anyway, the Ovi page allows you to create channels ofr privacy purposes. Channels allow you to filter who sees your items. You can also share audio recordings such as lectures and other sounds and basically you’ve just created a podcast. You can share over 100 different media formats. You can even share Microsoft Office documents. Yeah, yeah, they’re going the Google way like Google Docs! Full resolution downloads of photos can be made. You can subscribe via RSS to uploads of your friends / channels.
## Vast majority of media is not uploaded apparently. From media sharing, media hosting and social networking. Share on Ovi is basically a way to upload photos and videos immediately wirelessly. Service is free. The app can be downloaded from the Nokia site. Free bandwidth and storage for uploading photos. Website is http://share.ovi.com.
## In room survey of people who take vacations and take photos with them. Obviously a way to introduce Ovi.

Nokia Connection 2008 Roadmap: New Phones, Robust Ovi Services

[…] Share on Ovi: Is Ovi going to be the Flickr killer? Seems like it. You can upload video, photos and audio for free. You can embed photos on blogs. You can create channels. There is a stronger social networking aspect and a more robust mobile upload platform. Seems to me, yes. It might just kill Flickr, even for the mere fact that it is free Tags: 3G, Communicasia, E66, E71, Nokia Connect, SingaporeShare This Related StoriesNokia E51 cameraless nowNokia BH-902 and BH-903 OLED Bluetooth headsets at CES 2008Pics of lot tech Nokia 6205 clamshell phone leakedPhoneBAK for stolen Symbian phonesExclusive Nokia N81 and N95 8GB Kuala Lumpur launch […]

Nokia is very good compare to other from starting and now Ovi service. By the help of Ovi service we can upload video, photos and audio for free, embed photos on blogs, create channels and many more.
Thank You.

I don’t quite get share.ovi.com
It’s no Flickr killer. I’ve been using Flickr for the last 4 years and have tons of pictures and contacts over there. What’s the motivation for me to move to another sharing service?
The UI is clunky: it takes 2 clicks to favorite a photo and I’m taken to another page, the channels seems unnecessary, the page does not spread out horizontally for those of us blessed with giant screens, nor does it shrink at all.
I wonder why they call it “share” if I can’t share my media with other sites I may have media on like Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, Picassa, Yahoo, etc…
