Nokia unveiled SEEK, the third dimension of its mobile sharing site, MOSH.

SEEK allows MOSH users to make requests for content they crave and the community can then respond with suggestions or custom created content answering the ‘SEEK’.
PhoneMag ImageSEEK allows the rapidly growing, and global, MOSH community to connect with one another and to obtain content not yet available. Looking for a specific mobile application but can’t find anything close? Visiting Amsterdam and want a great mobile map?  How about video of a specific dive in the Maldives? SEEK it.

SEEK is the third dimension in the evolution of MOSH. The first dimension was the ability to upload and share content with a global audience; the second was downloading and customizing your device; now SEEK provides the ability to seek content and interact with the community, SEEK will tap into the power of the MOSH community and provide customized responses to people’s mobile needs.

Officially launching on December 14, an exclusive demo of SEEK will be seen at CTIA Wireless in San Francisco October 23rd through October 25th.

MOSH, short for mobilize and share, has seen more than 6 million downloads since its beta launch on 9th August. MOSH was built from the ground up with mobility in mind and its seamless web and mobile integration has facilitated rapid growth with 80% of all downloads happening through mobile browsers. MOSH allows content creators and technology leaders to post their content to a global audience. Focused on the sharing of mobile content, MOSH is intended for all mobile devices and is not Nokia specific.

In addition, at the CTIA, AOL previewed its upcoming easy-to-use mobile application, AOL MyMobile, which features customized access to various AOL’s services.

Finally, AIM users will benefit from two new services - AIM Short Code and AIM Buddy Finder. The former is already available to Verizon’s and Alltel’s subscribers and allows them to use the IM functionality through text messaging. On the other hand, AIM Buddy Finder empowers users to share their location with their AIM buddies from their GPS-enabled mobile phones.
