The world’s largest mobile handset maker, Nokia, announced today it is acquiring all the assets of little-known social media site Twango for an undisclosed mount. Twango got started in 2004 in Redmond by former MIcrosoft employees, and has built a series of hosting and social media services designed to enable users to share photos, video, and other media privately to family and friends or to the world at large. Nokia is looking to leverage Twango’s expertise and technologies to expand its own multimedia social sharing services—of course, tied to Nokia’s mobile and desktop devices and services.
