Strands Goes Mobile!
Strand's Mobile Now Optimized For S60 Devices!

The popular 'lifestreaming service Strands', continues to impress with its rapid growth in features, especially with the mobile optimized interface being launched today!

As you know, Strands recently launched the iPhone and touch mobile version of Strands.com. You like it, you really like it and some of you said "Hey, what about us Nokia folks!"

So, here it is, from today m.strands.com will work on any S60 Enabled Device, including the most of the Nokia N and Eseries phones!

Almost everything going mobile lately and Strands apparently follows this trend by just released mobile version of their service.

The m.strands.com is now especially optimized for viewing on S60 Devices via default Safari based web browser and offer almost the same functionality as the full desktop version! We’ve been playing around with it on our N95 and it’s awesome!

Strands helps people discover new things from people they care about. Strands gives users the ability to record their activities and keep track of their friends across multiple social networks and services.

Based on your aggregated activities, Strands enables discovery of new things based on your own behavior as well as that of your friends.

With this version you can:

• View Strands stuff
• Thumbs up/down stuff
• Add notes on the go
• Check out your inbox
• View hot and recommended posts
• More features will be available as we build up Strands.com!

Why is Mobile so important to us? Because it’s become more and more of a necessary experience for those that like to do things online. People are no longer tethered to desktops in the office…they have ultra slim laptops and now smarter phones that function as miniature computers.

Strands has a long and successful history with mobile devices: Strands won the Innovation Award in 2007 from Orange, one of the world’s largest mobile operators, was awarded the Nokia Mobile Rules Award earlier this year and very recently was rewarded in the BlackBerry developer challenge
