[News] Nokia phones to get Microsoft Office

[i]Long time rivals in the mobile phone arena Nokia and Microsoft have agreed on a partnership that might result in Microsoft's Office applications appearing on Nokia phones.[/i]


The agreement, which is yet to be officially announced comes as Microsoft sees its dominance being increasingly challenged by competition like Google Docs that allow web-based office application access. With phones getting better and more "web-friendly", users are using their phones to view, edit and transfer official documents, spreadsheets and presentations, right from their phones. So, it was only a matter of time when Microsoft had to partner with Nokia, arguably the worlds largest manufacturer of mobile phones.


On the flip side, Nokia too is facing the heat from newer rivals and software platforms like the iPhone and more recently, Google's very own Android platform. Interestingly, Microsoft and Nokia too compete with each other, albeit indirectly if you add in Windows Mobile, Microsoft's smartphone OS platform to the list of competing mobile OSes. For the same reason, it is widely expected that this co-operation will only exist for MS Office access on Nokia phones and nothing beyond that.

[news]Twitter 'can complement SEO activity'

Microblogging website Twitter can be used as a search engine optimisation (SEO) tool, but should not be used by internet businesses as a main source of directing web traffic.

That is the opinion of CatchFriday.com's Lawrence Perry, who suggested via Official Wire that Twitter can complement overall SEO practices and can be regarded as an "additional channel" for reaching a target audience.

Explaining things further, Mr Perry said: "Because tweets are not indexed by Google they don't really drive a lot of traffic to your site. You should not use Twitter as a main SEO tool."

He added that Twitter should not be used solely as a money-making online marketing device either, suggesting that it has public relations and branding benefits for companies too.

Internet research firm Hitwise recently revealed that Twitter has become the 27th most popular website in Britain.

The portal, which is used by celebrities who like blogging their thoughts on the web such as Stephen Fry and Britney Spears, is now more popular than social networking site MySpace in the UK.

[news]Phones of princes 'hacked into'

"There is evidence the phones of Princes William and Harry were hacked into by a News of the World reporter, a senior Metropolitan Police officer has said."

Royal reporter Clive Goodman was jailed for four months in 2007 for plotting to hack into royal aides' voicemails.

Ch Supt Philip Williams told the Commons Culture Committee the princes may also have been personally targeted.

The newspaper said it knew of "no evidence" to back the claims and that police had not mentioned them earlier.

The police had not brought up the allegations during their original investigation, a News of the World spokesman said.

In his evidence to MPs, Mr Williams acknowledged that the police had "never been able to prove" their suspicions regarding the two princes' phones.

But pressed about whether they had solid reasons to suspect the princes' personal phones had been hacked into, he replied: "Yes".

"Their voicemails may well have been intercepted," he said.

He was being quizzed, alongside Assistant Commissioner John Yates, on why police had decided not to reopen their investigation into the phone hacking scandal, after a series of stories in the Guardian in July this year reignited interest in it.
