I had not heard abut Plazes before this morning, but it appears that Nokia is going to acquire them for an undisclosed sum.

Plazes is a context-aware-social-activity service that people can use the place, record, and share their social activities. It's similar to services like Twitter, Jaiku, Plurk, and others. Unlike a lot of other networks that talk about location, in Plazes, it's front and center.

Seems a lot like Nokia's tagline-connecting people.
