WidSets Releases Jaiku Widget

WidSets has added a Jaiku widget to their growing library.  I ran across this prior to the press release and added it immediately. 

Enabling users to post thoughts, Jaikus,  on what they're doing, how they're feeling, or where they're going right now, Jaiku community members can also converse in real-time by reacting to individual posts, share lifestream information like photos, personal blog entries at one location and establish a central presence for social networking. Combined together, these messages, presence sharing, and feeds create a holistic lifestream of activities.

"Our Jaiku widget brings the microblogging experience straight to the mobile phone, enabling community members to stay connected 24/7," said Ulla Särkikangas, Director, Consumer Internet Services, Nokia Emerging Business Unit.

"Jaiku was made for mobile users and we're delighted that WidSets is enabling a living, growing conversation among people around the world through the use of the Jaiku widget," added Jyri Engeström, Jaiku co-founder.

WidSets, which has more than 1 million registered users, is a handset manufacturer-independent service that brings the best bits of the Internet, such as communities, news, blogs, reviews, and weather reports straight to the mobile phone. It uses mini-applications called widgets to deliver up to date Internet content to mobile phones and enables the user to create their own widgets.

WidSets works on a wide variety of mobile phone brands and is compatible on more than 300 mobile devices. User can easily download WidSets at www.widsets.com or on mobile at get.widsets.com. WidSets was born out of Nokia Emerging Business Unit and represents a first step in Nokia's vision of mobilizing the Internet.
