Moblogging

The beauty of technology are the ways that it allows us to communicate. Email is just about instantaneous. Cell phones allow us to make and receive phone calls from just about anywhere. Many cell phones provide us instant web access and the ability to take and send photos.

Cell phones with cameras make an interesting device. People can take photos of anything and just as quickly email them. When used correctly, this can provide newsworthy images and citizen-driven news. This is one application of moblogging - the combination of cell phone photos and text.

Moblogging (mobile blogs) allow people to send pictures from their cell phones to a blog site. This blog may or may not contain text. The photos are of average quality. (Phonecams are not high resolution cameras.) Some sites are quite interesting while others are average to boring.

Photoblogs are blogs to display photography. The variety of picture taking techniques and photo equipment that people use to post on this type of blog provide a nice range of quality.
