OK, “featured” is a bit strong, but we somehow found ourselves in the giant video at yesterday’s Nokia: Go Play media event, where the company launched a number of new initiatives including its Ovi mobile gateway. Dopplr was one of a small group of Web companies listed in a “crawl” on the screen in back of Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia’s executive vice president and general manager for multimedia, during his keynote speech.

You can see us, in a somewhat blurry way, by clicking on the thumbnail image at left to get a full-sized screenshot from the video webcast (Real Player). (If you’re interested in what Nokia is up to in a general way, and it’s pretty impressive, there’s a lot to see in the webcast.)

Needless to say, we’re delighted to be there alongside companies like YouTube, Google, Yahoo, Facebook and LinkedIn, among others (not, of course, that we’re comparing ourselves to any of them). But being on the screen was, in a real way, a validation of what we’re trying to do here.
