Nokia acquires Dopplr
by Volker Weber
Espoo, Finland - Nokia and Dopplr announced today that Nokia has acquired Dopplr Oy, a privately-held mobile service provider for international travelers. Dopplr has a team of seven people with offices in London and Helsinki. The Dopplr team brings to Nokia's Services unit unique know-how in creating internet-based communities and showing their journeys, experiences and tastes collectively on the web.
The acquisition does not change the current Dopplr service which is available at Dopplr.com and on platforms where Dopplr is integrated.

A while ago Nokia acquired Plazes - and ever since I haven't heard much from them. Will Dopplr experience the same fate?
