Official Nimbuzz Blog

Pretty exciting news. The new Nimbuzz for PC comes with two useful features:

• Invisible mode
• YouTube video player

I think the YouTube video player is great addition and will save a lot of time. Instead of opening a new browser window and waiting for it to load, you just press play and watch the Youtube video your friend sent inside the chat window .

The update also fixes a lot of bugs your reported and we thank you very much for the feedback.

If you find anything you like or things to be improved, please leave send us an email at support at nimbuzz . com.

Nokia’s Ovi store is a great place to discover cool new apps. With over 5 million downloads each day and plans to offer WP7 apps in the future, the daily download number can only go up.

Having so many apps to choose from it can be difficult at times to find the best Nokia apps.

Because we want to help out, we did our own research and created a list of top Nokia apps, for a category we called web tools .

We hope you will enjoy it…(and check even more cool apps at the end of  post)

Last week, we promised we will pick three of your questions and answer them on our blog. With over 740 questions, that wasn’t an easy task .

Without any further do, let’s see which were most frequently asked questions.

• What does Nimbuzz mean?

The dictionary meaning of Nimbuzz is “halo” – or “a shining cloud sometimes surrounding a deity when on earth”, a definition that fits our vision of “mobile freedom” very well.

Of course, Nimbuzz means so much more. For us Nimbuzz is the place where we can meet, share and connect with all our friends and we see Nimbuzz being the free call and messaging app for the connected generation.

Here is what Nimbuzz means from your point of view.

There are a lot of cool apps for Nokia phones and because there are so many, sometimes it can be difficult to find the best Nokia apps.

To give you a hand in your quest to be more connected to your social graph, we made a list with some of the best social networking apps for Nokia phones.

Nokia always enchanted us with good quality phone cameras and the expectations were raised once more, with the Nokia N8.

The 12MP camera takes amazing pictures and records crystal clear full HD movies , thanks to the Carl Zeiss lens. With an experience of over 80 years of pioneering in the optic industry, today Carl Zeiss produces some of the best lenses in the world and I dare to say that because of this partnership Nokia has some of the best camera phones out there.

With more and more 5MP/8MP/12MP phone cameras available I am happy we finally have an app similar to Instagram for Nokia, Molome.  Below you can find my my list of 8 useful apps that will help you to edit and share your photos faster and easier! So here it goes…

Last week we asked on our Facebook page, how you would describe Nimbuzz in just three words.

Over 1,200 replies later we decided to create a word cloud, so everybody can see the answer trough your eyes. The bigger the word in the image above the more times it was mentioned by you guys.

We must say, it’s truly fascinating to see Nimbuzz from your point of view and and to see that most of you use words like Best, Love, Great, Amazing, Fantastic, Friends, Easy,Cool,  Nice to describe our app and the chat experience.

No wonder that 98% of our 40 million strong global community choose to recommend Nimbuzz to their friends !
