Nokia Social, Different Tack, and Mental Models of Mobile Social Networking

Upon moving to the Nokia N8 as my primary mobile, I have taken a good bit of time on reevaluating my communication needs, especially around social networking and email. For the most part, I am offloading some of the larger thinking communications (email, RSS reading, and blogging) to my iPad. The more immediate communications (text, media messaging, voice, and social networking) finds it’s way on the N8. Doing this has changed my attention span towards and the way that I interact within those modes of communication. It has also changed how much value I ascribe to those channels and behaviors.
