Fan Tweet Thursday: Nokia’s Historical Tweets
We were tipped off by a Nokia employee that their own marketing team created some Historical Tweets. You can catch them on the Ovi blog (Ovi is Nokia’s fancy operating system suite of applications for its mobile devices).
Here’s a sample of their historical creations:

Virginia Woolf: @HenryJames: Am a bit depressed. Maybe I’ll download some vintage Nick Cave from Ovi Music. That’ll cheer me right up!

Odysseus: @ShipCrew I know, I know, we’re so lost. Can somebody please log on to Ovi Maps and get us back home asap??

Ovi is more like the fancy app-store-clone :) The OS is symbian. But I don’t think there’s a ovi-twitter-app :D

These were both just awful, leave products out of historical tweets.

Danielle: But I suppose it’s cool when Google, iPhones etc. are mentioned in HT’s?

Err, for the record, Ovi (Finnish for ‘door’) is the name used for Nokia’s internet services. There’s Maps, Mail, N-Gage, Music, Share, Store, Contacts and Calendar, all made to work with Nokia devices.

3000 B.C.E. Seriously? Failure. More like 12th Century B.C.E.
