Why @NMS_ZA (Nokia Music Service) Fails on twitter
So i have been tweeting about @amawheelies project for the last few days, and they just hit 100 followers and i won a voucher for Nokia music services. Now i must say i really appreciate it, and would like to say thank You.
However, out of integrity i have to call out an issue i see with the service. Upon going to the site i was faced with the message below.
Apparently the site is only supported on Windows, and the only browser supported is Microsoft Internet Explorer 6!
I am not sure who is assisting Nokia with their social media strategy, but it clearly shows a misunderstanding of twitter and the community.
Why? Well worldwide Internet explorer has the most market share, but on my site StartupAfrica the most common browser is Firefox. I also wrote a post which clearly shows that early adopters favor Firefox. The same early adopters that are on twitter!
Lesson: If you are going to play where early adopters are, make sure your website and systems cater for them.

I cant believe that big companies like Nokia still fail to design sites that work across every browser.
