Zvents goes mobile with WidSets by Nokia

Posted: July 6th, by tyler

Our friends at Nokia Ventures have been working with Zvents these past months on ‘WidSets’ – Nokia’s foray into a mobile service platform.

The Zvents WidSets widget, available immediately at www.widsets.com, is our first experiment in the wireless space and shows off how powerful Zvents will be on your mobile. The Zvents widget is a free downloadable Java app that displays search results for events based on what/when/where entries. You can customize your WidSets widget to show whatever events you are interested in, anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area or Seattle.

For example, our bus dev director has configured a Zvents widget to show “theater events/this week/within 10 miles of San Francisco” and another for “wine tasting” related events on a Motorola RAZR phone. Of course, it works well on Nokia phones too! Check here to find out if it will work with your phone.

Other Nokia WidSets partners include Technorati, Yelp, and Meetup.

We are really excited to be part of Widsets launch and to partner with Nokia! Give it a spin and let us know what you think.
