Farewell, and thanks for all the fish

There hasn't been too many blog postings here during summer - sorry about that - and some people have wondered why.  The root cause for me not blogging here for a while is that I have decided to move to new challenges, and I've been busy making all the arrangements. Having invented WidSets with my friends two years ago, taking it to the market, and making it a success, I decided that it was time for me to move to the next great thing.

No, there's nothing dramatic about this, as I'm continuing working for Nokia, and with communities. The bigger change is that I am moving to San Francisco, so I'm really looking forward to getting a chance to meet all you great guys out there more on a regular basis! And WidSets will naturally continue blogging, which means that in the future you will get to know many people from the WidSets team.

With that, I want to thank everybody for putting up with my postings here at WidSets, and for the great comments! I personally have enjoyed the time here immensely! And my special thanks goes to all of you, who have blogged or written about WidSets. Thank you so much!

Cheers!

From 5pm to 2am ...again

Punavuoren Ahven had the pleasure of hosting us again when we enjoyed I dare to say very well deserved evening out with the whole team.

"Jokainen ihminen on laulun arvoinen" - every guy in the team would deserve a song written about ;o)

Cheers, Tuomo

Celebrating Press Release

The Press Release went out on October 3rd, and we did celebrate the official launch of WidSets with the whole team a couple of days after that, so there will be more pictures here, hopefully soon. Here's a picture of the original co-founders of WidSets. From left to right: Seppo Pyhälammi, Tero-Markus Saarimaa, Tuomo Sihvola, and Kaj HeGe Häggman.

Cheers!

About WidSets and Nokia...

Few words to hopefully clarify about WidSets and Nokia. WidSets.com is a venture within the business incubation part of Nokia, Nokia Ventures Organization. At NVO, small teams innovate and create value for Nokia by developing new ideas and concepts beyond the scope of the core Nokia businesses.

The WidSets team wanted to make it easy for anybody from an individual blogger to a web service to quickly make mobile access to the content in the website. Our approach is to move with very fast development cycles based on the feedback we receive. For that reason and due the fact that our service works across all mobile manufacturers without any need of mobile browser specific adaptations, we wanted to keep the service brand independent and open.

Welcome all again to participate and make it your service !
