My Live Blog and Cams

Wednesday, November 16, 2005


If you're not aware of the moblog (mobile blog) movement, you should familiarize yourself with it by visiting the various moblog sites. These are places where people post snapshots they take with their phone-cams. Certain sites, such as textamerica, pioneered the concept. And then there is Yafro, a site laced with lewd and lascivious snapshots. If you're an exhibitionist, this is the place for you. I never knew it before, but there seem to be a lot of women who like walking around stark naked, having their pictures taken (not porn, mind you), then posting these pictures on the Web just because, well, they think it's cool. I do not need this distraction.

Essentially, moblogging works like this: You join a moblogging system and start snapping pictures with your mobile phone's built-in camera when you're out wandering around. By pushing a few buttons on the phone, you automatically post the shots to the moblog, where they accumulate and people can view them. If you thought blogging was primarily mundane and tedious, wait until you see moblogs and the crazed exhibitionists showing off on them. If they are not showing off themselves, they are showing off their misbehaving friends. And if they are not showing off their friends, they are taking candid shots of strangers and posting them!
