Nokia Vine

Nokia's new vine application is the next level of social networking that does all the work for you the idea of nokia vine is that it will document the actions you do one a journey much like on twitter how you can update anyone in the world with what you are doing at any time you want to, vine on the other hand is more multimedia based and gives people an extra insight in what you want to show them because as you are on a journey if you turn on your nokia phones music player using gps the phone documents where you are when you start listening to your music and upload a path of your route onto your online profile which will end when you stop listening to music, other features it has is when you take a photo or a video it will automatically upload the photo you have taken to the website with a tag on your map for where you were at that moment in time so people can see where abouts what you have taken a photo of is.


I really like this idea about it uploading pictures and videos for you and documenting a specific journey with all the things you have done, and it reminds me of the research methods Damien Gascoine talked about in his lecture that we should always be researching and be taking notes through out our daily lives and i think this is a very interesting way to document things that we have been doing and it also takes down the risk of actually documenting something and losing it but with vine you will always be able to find out where you or a particular item was in the world.
