You have been waiting for a Plazes mobile site since long time already and now your patience has been rewarded: m.plazes.com just launched and it works perfectly on every mobile phone.

Wherever you are, just take your mobile phone from your pocket, point your browser to m.plazes.com and after logging in you can already see what your friends are up to (People tab), check what is happening around you (Plan tab) or explore the neighborhood (Plazes tab).

Of course you can plaze yourself by clicking on the orange Plaze me! button whenever you want. Isn't that great?

Some of you are also waiting for an iPhone/iPod touch application: you can already add m.plazes.com to your home screen!

Another day, another viral campaign. This time, the mystery fun is brought to us by Nokia. Visiting the page will playback a video outlining the woes of three people who have lost their phones, highlighting the idea that their phone "knows everything" about them. It then switch to the countdown shown above. They've even given all three of the video's stars - Anna, Jade, and Luca - Facebook accounts, complete with fake friends and Wall posts.

Anyone want to take a stab at what they'll announce? The obvious bet would be the phone shown in the countdown - but that seems a bit anticlimactic, and makes the whole omniscient phone aspect kind of pointless. My guess? Some sort of remote wipe/data management set-up aimed at the general consumer. Lose your phone? Take all the naughty stuff off via our handy web app!

Pink Tentacle is hitting the skies this week to participate in the 2008 Nokia Open Lab workshop in Helsinki, Finland, where dozens of selected bloggers and social media participants from across the globe will converge to discuss the future of mobile technology. Topics on the agenda include the future of content creation, location aware solutions, entertainment, and the use of emerging technologies in working life. Sounds intriguing.

Give me a shout if you'd like to stay up to date on the happenings. Or if you know Helsinki, what do you recommend for a taste of the town?
