Nokia has bought London-based social travel website Dopplr for some €15m (£13.5m), according to a report. Launched in 2007, Dopplr lets frequent travellers keep track of their movements. The company received €1.5m in funding from The Accelerator Group and a number of private investors, expanding into travel tips.
