Hi!
A quick intro, My name is Jason Madhosingh, but most people call me madho. I work on Samuli’s team and look after various Ovi by Nokia digital projects. It would be cooler to be an Ovi Ninja, but I couldn’t get legal to approve my business cards. Go figure. I’ll be dropping in from time to time to help answer questions from the community, so you should also feel free to send them to madho (at) ovi.com and I’ll do my best to follow up or answer them with blog posts.
One question that has been coming up lately:
Fans of Ovi Share have been wondering about the future of the service in light of Nokia’s recent announcement. I’m here to tell you that Share is alive and well. The primary objective of Share is to let people capture and share their experiences using photos and videos via their Nokia handset’s power, via Ovi.
The recent announcement about Ovi Share represents a clarification of Nokia’s mobile service strategy.
Our next natural evolution is to extend and democratize the social media experience by integrating it with other social media services and partners, just as we’ve already done with Flickr, Vox, and a number of other partners around the globe. Our goal is to enable people to personalize their mobile experience based on their needs and desires. This is what Ovi by Nokia is all about.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments, and if you’re hungry, here is a picture of a pie that I made for Mother’s Day. enjoy. recipe on request.
Cheers

Did you take that picture with your Nokia phone? Is there a mobile app for managing and sharing your recipes? Cheers, Karyl
Great to hear some facts from the Horses mouth as it were about Share on Ovi.! I’m a heavy user of Share on Ovi, and have a few questions, suggestions, and reports to email you regarding improving Share on Ovi further, as there are currently a few annoying bugs which many people have reported on twitter. I have come across a few too, which I will note in my pending email to you.
Thanks for your openness, its appreciated.!

No Recipe App that I’m using…yet. Recommendations welcomed.
Why is Nokia ignoring developer emails regarding issues with OVI?
In particular why is Nokia ignoring my request for a refund of the registration fee due to the misleading and inaccurate publicity material Nokia produced which did not make it clear the considerable problems and barriers that small developers, like myself, would have publishing to the OVI store.
Not sure that this is true:), but thanks for a post.
Thanks for article. Everytime like to read you.
Thanks
Super post, Need to mark it on Digg
Since Ovi Share is still alive, thanks for giving me hopes that multiple select and edit function will be added to Ovi Share? I have ceased upload to Ovi since the revamped which rendered the service unusable!
Integrating with other services is a great idea as well. Hope to see some positive improvement over Ovi Share anytime soon.
