Nokia launches mobile social networking site

Shortly after buying media sharing site Twango, Nokia launched a closed beta of a brand new mobile networking site.

Mosh, short for Mobile Sharing, allows users to share media and applications from their mobile phones. It’s also got some really cool features like the ability to tag and share content with other people and create collections of content, like clouds.

The site will be free to users and won’t be limited to Nokia handset owners. Anyone with a WAP compatible device or standard browser will be able to access the system. However, if you do have a Nokia device you can download an application that will offer quicker access to Mosh. You will also be able to access the site from your computer avoiding costly mobile data charges associated with downloading content on your phone.

In order to upload content, a user must first register, although anyone can view the content. Registered users can upload individual items with a maximum size of 100MB. Nokia hasn’t specified the monthly upload quota but said it is generous and “higher than any user will probably need.”
