This time when I went off to holiday in Goa, the thought of blogging my photos via my MMS phone did cross my mind. But my phone wasn’t web-enabled so I decided to postpone my tryst with moblogging - or blogging from one’s mobile phone.
But Moblogging is taking off big-time, with a whole bunch of services cropping up. According to Wikipedia, a mobile weblog, or moblog, consists of content posted to the Internet from a mobile or portable device, such as a cellular phone or PDA. Moblogs generally involve technology which allows publishing from a mobile device.
Google started the mania with Blogger Mobile. Now when you send text or photos from your mobile device to go@blogger.com they’re automatically posted to your new blog page. Blogger Mobile is free, but right now it only works if you are a US customer of Verizon, AT&T, Cingular, Sprint, or T-Mobile.
The network’s customers are granted a free website to which they can upload pictures and video clips, taken with their fancy new third-generation phones.
The service, called ˜My Gallery’, integrates 3G technology and Web blogging, with pictures or videos sent from a video mobile instantly published to a customer’s unique Web site, hosted by Yospace’s Media Community Platform.
A video clip costs 50p and a picture costs 25p to upload to the My Gallery service. Users can also manage their blogs from a PC.
Hutchinson 3G UK has announced UK’s first mobile blogging service. The mobile operator’s customers can share pictures or video clips captured on their video mobile via the web.
Steve Rubel has taken to photoblogging from his Treo camera phone via SplashBlog, which lets you instantly publish photos from your to an online photo blog to share with others - for a price, of course.

How can you use moblogging in marketing? One thing I can think of right away is how cool it would be to blog photos from conferences or seminars you attend.
