Open for one year…working toward co-creation and beta-culture
Nokia Beta Labs is a virtual organization to support “Nokia R&D teams (hundreds or thousands of people) and the beloved user community (~100k people and counting) to shape the future together.”
The site notes these measures of success:
- 4+18 application launches
- huge usage growth: ~1M page views, ~200k downloads, and thousands of comments / month already
- vibrant user community: experimenting with new apps, sharing thoughts, and helping each other
- early signs of a massive culture change inside Nokia, towards co-creation and beta culture
