Which means the primary navigation for the site isn't regarding the application's features or ways to navigate the service's data... it's about selling phones. I think that says A LOT.

They had a love affair with the AtomPub standard with Share Online and Lifeblog, and it's almost like they looked at the lack of adoption of the standard as took the totally wrong message out of it -- that people don't want integration with mobile apps. Of course, if they had supported metaWeblog I'd be using these with my Drupal site right now. @micah: Yes, I do believe someone there thinks that these walled gardens add some sort of brand caché to their handsets.

Do you suppose somebody actually said, at a meeting in Finland at some point, 'This social network is going to be so revolutionary people will go out and buy brand new Nokia phones just to use it.' Do you suppose that person has been fired, or shot, yet? How do real companies keep on making the same expensive mistakes again and again?
