We here at Ovi love our fans. And they love our Historical Ovi Tweets! A couple of weeks back we started hearing rumors that there are “fan tweets” going around the interwebs, and whaddyaknow: the rumors were true!
We also found out that we are apparently quite famous in the Philippine blogosphere, as an organization called the Pinoy Expat Blog Awards (PEBA) has not only made an Ovi by Nokia promo video (we’ll post that as well here soon!), but launched an entire Historical Ovi Tweets competition! We here at Historical Ovi Tweets HQ (i.e. my couch) have watched new Ovi fan tweets pop up almost daily for the past couple of weeks, and we figured it’s only right we post some of them here, as they just look so cool!
So, let’s get started!
The first one is from artemis070829 who sent this one directly to us. It features the noted chessmaster Emanuel Lasker (and his nemesis Wilhelm Steinitz), and we just thought it was hilarious
Thanks, artemis070829, your tweet will be made into a T-shirt and shipped to you shortly!!

The next one is actually made by yours truly, but it was featured at HistoricalTweets.com a while back, and a commentor by the name of Anusha made such a great suggestion for an alternative text that we just had to feature it here:

Love it! Then we have the PEBA bloggers as well. Since it was sort of a competition, we chose the winner (which, by the way, was so hard since the tweets were all so friggin’ good!) and it is….
The superb Cyrano de Bergerac tweet (click!!) from NEBZ of Isla de Nebz! Congrats, NEBZ! Your tweet will also be made into a T-shirt and sent to you!
Another fantastic fan tweet comes from Reymos of “My World is Getting Smaller Every Day” in the form of Michelangelo’s David (click!!), who came in second and will also get his tweet made into a T-shirt (congrats, Reymos!).
Other cool fan art comes from AZEL of Panunumbalik ng Ulirat in the form of David and Aphrodite (click!!)…
The super funny “Scream” tweet (click!!) from the Pope of Palipasan…
…and Lady Liberty’s tweet (click!!) from the DETH of Minddeth!
We would just like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who made and submitted their tweets!! Have YOU already sent us your own Historical Ovi Tweet?


Wow thanks for having our own historic ovi tweets here in Ovi.com blog! We L -ovi-D it and OVI-rjoyed!
I’m humbled. Thank you, Niini. And on behalf of PEBA, I thank you too for being a part of our community.
Hi, Reymos & Nebz!
No, thank *YOU* guys for making your Tweets and sharing them with us (and generally just being awesome people)! Like said, we really appreciate it! We’ll have to see if the new tweets keep coming in and if we have another ‘fan art’ post on our hands at some point in the future…
Hi! Congratulations to the winners! And those who participated! It’s great to have a partnership with PEBA (Philippine Expats/OFW Blog Awards) and the Nokia and their OVI program. Thank you for the support as well!
Thank you so much Nini for posting our Historic Tweets and making it part of your Nokia’s Ovi blog and our deepest gratitude for supporting PEBA and the Global Filipino bloggers.
Thank you Niini for showering us some love! (lolz!)
Congratulations to all the winners.
And thank you NOKIA for being a part of PEBA event.
I am about done with this blog. Is this tweet bs really pretty much the only thing you can blog about. How about, e.g., giving some insights into what the Ovi Team is (hopefully) busy working to improve the Ovi Store’s (so far, at best lackluster) user experience, search function, catalogue, reloading etc etc etc. Focus, people! PLEASE.
