Our ongoing series of historical characters discussing (and loving!) Ovi by Nokia on Twitter continues with the fabulous Marie Antoinette.
Marie Antoinette is, of course, known for being the ultimate 18th-century party princess (and from the looks of it, carrying around her own weight in hair and clothing). She also has the dubious honor of being regarded as the originator of the phrase “Let them eat cake” (when told that the people of France are starving). Some historians say “PAH!” and claim that she never said such a thing, but that it was merely attributed to her by her contemporaries (read: evil haterz) who wanted to make her look even more indulgent and ignorant in the wake of the French Revolution. Well, I suppose it could be worse. She could, after all, be known for saying something REALLY awful and incorrect like “you can’t use Ovi on your Mac” (since you can!)
Besides, I think anyone who can walk around wearing three feet of hair wrapped into a raccoon’s nest and make it look fierce deserves a shout out. Enjoy Marie’s musings!

Uh, oh. What’s the purpose of this blog? Here I was thinking that this could be a great way to learn what’s going on with all the hard development work that guy guys and gals at Nokia are busy with.
Instead there’s weird cheesy pictures. I guess this really communicates what Ovi is all about…
These are simply embarrassing. Not funny (or maybe the Scandinavian humour does not travel well), and very “Dads at the Disco”.
Remember, if you have to try to be cool, you’re not. Be yourself.
These are really funny! Keep ‘em coming!
Everyone: thanks for the comments, it’s always nice to hear what you guys think!
@Nightingale: Right now we’re trying out a couple of new things here at the Ovi Blog, including the Historical Ovi Tweets, so bear with us! Rest assured, you will still keep hearing about the development work as well when you visit the blog
@James: “Dads at the Disco”? You’re not gonna believe this, but you may have just given me the most amazing idea for a marketing campaign ever! Can you send me your details to niini (at) ovi (dot) com? I’d like to send a little Ovi gift to you as a thank you. Also, if you could tell me in the same e-mail what kind of content you’d like to see on the Ovi Blog (if the Tweets are not your cup of tea), I’d really appreciate it!
@Gary: Thanks, they crack me up as well
