Nokia today announced the launch of its local blog, Nokia Ringaz (pronounced Ring-uz).

 

According to the Finnish company, the name of the blog is South African township slang for “many conversations”. Various stories about the people, products and services of the members of the local Nokia community will be featured on the portal.

 

The Nokia Ringaz blog went live today and Nokia is also looking for a South African mobile technology enthusiast to join the Ringaz team as one of the 4 bloggers who will contribute to the blog on a weekly basis.

 

“In South Africa, Nokia has come a long way since we first started testing the waters with social media and the rapidly progressing online world,” says Tania Steenkamp, communications manager at Nokia South Africa. “It has been an incredible learning process, and I am so excited to watch Ringaz grow into the online dialogue we are hoping for.”
