Nokia Discontinues Ovi ...

Nokia today announced that it would discontinue its Ovi Share service. Ovi Share is a web service used by Nokia to host users’ content, but with the push toward the Windows Phone platform over at Nokia it makes sense that the company would choose to consolidate its core services. Users of Ovi Share will have until May 30 to retrieve their content from the service, at which point all of the content will be no longer accessible. Users can download the entirety of their content through a Zip file, or pick and choose certain files to retrieve. It’s also worth noting that users will not be able to upload content to the service after March 13, so if you’re a Share user we recommend nipping this in the bud. There’s no reason to continue using the service for an extra two weeks, and it’s best to just get all your stuff before you forget it’s there.

Yandex, Google’s Russia...

A significant step for Twitter in its international growth: Yandex, Russia’s search giant, today announced that it will carry Twitter data in all of its search results. The news also underscores one possible route to revenue generation for Twitter: Yandex describes this as a licensing deal. The terms of it were not disclosed but Microsoft reportedly paid Twitter $30 million for a similar search agreement. The agreement with Yandex will see Twitter’s data firehose appear both in Yandex’s blog search, as well as through a dedicated URL, twitter.yandex.ru. The Yandex agreement is similar to the real-time Twitter search that used to be offered by Google — a partnership that ended last year around the time that Google was launching its own Google+ service. Yandex says it has licensed the “ full feed of all public tweets ,” covering all languages — but seems to highlight specifically those tweets that are in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian or Kazakh, covering tweets from more than two million users. People will be able to search by usernames and hashtags, too. In total, Twitter has around 100 million active users, covering some 250 million tweets per day. This looks like Twitter’s first big deal with a Russian portal , and could point to more local partnerships of its kind — useful for Twitter extending its coverage and usefulness beyond its home market and English. For Yandex, the Twitter deal gives the search giant — which currently has around 60 percent of the market in Russia — a leg up in its own strategy to do more in social networking: Yandex already offers people Google-like features to share news and other content and this will enhance that.
