Nokia has created a mobile social networking site called Mosh. There’s an online and mobile component for this social network, giving you cross-platform access for networking and media-sharing. While Sprint-Nextel has added more access to existing networks via mobile devices, Nokia has created one of its own. The site is currently in private beta, and I’ve taken a test run of the network.
On Mosh, you can upload content to your own profile, including audio, videos, documents, images, games and applications. Browse for other content on Mosh, where you can take three actions for each item: share, collect, or download. Sharing lets you send the item to friends via SMS or email, collecting lets you bookmark the item, and downloading is self-explanatory. For each item, you can also vote it up or down by indicating if you “like it” or “love it” and leave a comment.
You can create collections, which are similar to folders for the items you bookmark throughout the site. View other user’s collections, and scroll through the content that’s included in the collection. Every action you take, sharing, collecting and downloading, is tracked. These stats are shown in graphical representation on your dashboard, and also goes toward your overall ranking. For each user, you can also see how many items they’ve uploaded in each category, along with the items in their collections, and countries where users are collecting from them.
The online layout isn’t your typical top-heavy navigation bar. Access to all the content and users falls along either side of the screen, within modules for each section. This layout design works well for its online site. While it’s very easy to peruse media throughout Mosh, it’s slightly less focused on users. For example, you cannot see another user’s friends, and only the country names are provided for those that are collecting from a user, and not the actual users themselves. This will probably work fine considering the mobile browsing options of most cell phones, and the concentration of media-sharing that Mosh is encouraging. Nevertheless, adding private messaging and subscription options for other users wouldn’t hurt.
Thanks to Luca for the access - check out his blog for another review.
