Nokia has a new social networking tool under its belt.
The cell phone company has bought out Plazes, a start-up that uses GPS and other location-sensing protocols to let users share their activities and whereabouts with friends.
The Plazes team says it will continue to operate, along with new members from Nokia’s location-based service team, out of Berlin.
The amount paid for the acquisition isn’t being made public.
