When Merriam-Webster compiled a list of the most searched words of 2004, the word 'blog' (short for weblog) topped the charts.
However,
blogging's younger sibling, the mobile-blog, is rapidly becoming one of
the most popular online phenomenon worldwide. Mobile-blogging, or
moblogging - basically, using camera phones to post pictures and text
on a weblog - is captivating thousands of new converts every week from
Atlanta to Zagreb.
A few numbers tell
you why. More camera phones are sold than digital cameras, with one
American research firm predicting global sales to rise from 150 million
in 2003 to 650 million by 2008. |

When Ken Weaverling bought a new cellphone in October, the 45-year-old
tech-support manager didn't know what to do with the built-in camera.
Other than shooting and e-mailing home a couple of photographs during a
trip to England, he barely used the feature.
That all changed in January when a friend showed Mr.
Weaverling Mobog.com, where users can post camera-phone pictures and
comment on other people's shots. Mr. Weaverling, of Newark, Del.,
became hooked. He now posts as many as 10 to 15 pictures daily --
chronicling everything from a trip to Montana to gas prices at his
local station -- and comments on 25 to 50 photos posted by others.
Welcome to a hot new corner of the Internet: mobile Web logs,
or moblogs, which are booming in popularity as camera-phone sales rise.
The sites allow you to send in pictures and captions from your phone,
which are then automatically arranged into an online scrapbook free of
charge. On most sites, users can leave comments on pictures taken by
others as well as create links to their friends' photo blogs and send
messages to fellow users. You can often choose whether to keep your
moblog private with a password or not.
