Flickr adds CC mobl0gging for any webl0g

Flickr adds CC mobl0gging for any webl0g 07/08/2004 07:13 PM

A couple weeks ago, we mentioned Flickr added support for Creative Commons licenses to their photo uploading and hosting service. This week, they've announced a pretty amibitious new feature: mobile phone blogging for almost any blog service.

It works like this: you setup an account at Flickr, enable moble blogging features by inputing details about your blog, choose a CC license, and you'll be able to post photos from your phone to any Blogger, LiveJournal, Movable Type, and/or Typepad powered weblog. Here's a great example blog of CC-licensed photos being posted through Flickr.

I'm really impressed with this new feature. I've built my own similar system and it required a weekend of hacking and data spread across three servers. Now anyone can have a similar setup by simply using the free Flickr service in just a few minutes.

What is Mobl0gging?

What is Mobl0gging? 09/19/2004 02:42 AM

I spent much of yesterday with Scoble, we went to the ballgame, then Pike Place Market, where he bought flowers for his wife Maryam, and then on to a Tully's coffee shop where we figured out what Moblogging is.

First, why is it important that I of all people know what Moblogging is? Okay, as Zero Mostel says, I'll tell you. (Sorry.) Blame Rebecca MacKinnon, my former Harvard colleague, and former Tokyo bureau chief for CNN, and friend of Joi Ito. Rebecca keeps telling me that I must have a session about Moblogging at BloggerCon. At the closing session of the last BC, I asked the room if they felt we should have one, and everyone said yes we should. However, unless we know what Moblogging is, if we were to have a discussion about it, it seems we would spend all our time debating what it is and whether or not it belongs at a BloggerCon. Those are exactly the kinds of meta-discussions that I like to avoid. At all costs. So I want to know what it is, and if it's worth discussing.

So Scoble and I sat down for coffee with this mission in mind. To figure it out. To figure out what Moblogging is. And we did. We nailed it. We know. And now I'm going to tell you.

Moblogging is any activity that occurs away from your normal blog-writing place whose purpose is to create content for your blog.

So, when I took pictures of the coffee shop, that was moblogging.

When I wrote this explanation that was not moblogging, since I did it at my desk, fully supported by my normal high-speed net connection, laptop, multi-gigabyte external hard disk, second monitor, USB hub, mouse, etc etc. There were no distractions that come from being in the real world, no toll booths, gas gauges, semi-trailers, weather reports, ticket takers, hot dog vendors, fish throwers, jelly tasters that demand attention above and beyond the blogging I'm doing.

I was moblogging when I crossed the Mississippi River in northern Minnesota, where it's just a slow-flowing creek. If I hadn't taken the pictures and later uploaded them, I still would have been delighted and impressed, but I wouldn't have been moblogging.

When I'm driving through the corn fields of Saskatchewan recording an audio blog post, I am moblogging. Here's a 15-second Quicktime movie that illustrates what it feels like to moblog while driving, from my point of view.

I am also moblogging when I almost drive off the road trying to hit pause on the recording. (In other words moblogging requires new hardware that is designed specifically for moblogging.)

In the future I will be moblogging when I hit the big red Record button on my iPod and talk into it for a half-hour while driving across the wheat fields of Alberta and then hit the big red button again to pause the recording and save it to the internal disk of the iPod. (A low battery also causes it to be saved.) I will be moblogging when I don't drive off the road into one of the wheat fields. ";->"

Before we came up with this definition, we were fumbling around trying to figure out if moblogging was more than taking pictures of things with cell phones and having them uploaded to some central server so we could point to them from our blogs. Yes yes, moblogging is more than that, it's a way of blogging, perhaps even a way of living. It's important and fully capable of supporting a 1.5 hour discussion at Bloggercon.

Bing!

Dave Winer (after talking with Robert Scoble) writes a posting that decons tructs moblogging. This helps clarify the genre for me. Crucially, he points out that this isn't just about pictures. It's about mobility, and on-the-fly posting from whatever location strikes you as useful. It also requires hardware designed for the purpose. I have a terrific RSS reader for my mobile phone/PDA. Now I want something that lets me post as easily, and haven't found anything to match my needs. The software is improving, though. When I think about reader contributions to tomorrow's journalism, one of the most important roles will be presence. That is, when average folks are at a scene where the professional journalists are not, they can capture -- through observation, audio recordings, photos and video -- the elemental data of the situation. Moblogging is an essential part of this.

Mobl0gging At First Sight

Mobl0gging At First Sight 05/05/2004 06:41 PM
Well, first people were getting dumpe d by SMS, but what if camera phones can help them find their one true soul mate? Already, there are a number of popular "missed connections" websites for people who saw the love of their life walk by on the street and were too stricken by love to actually say anything. As you might imagine, these sites rarely lead to any sort of actual connection. Still, pic turephoning.com points us to one entrepreneur has decided to take this to the next level. Instead of just saying things like "You were on the crosstown bus wearing a red sweater," you're supposed to snap a picture of your this one-true-love-you've-never-spoken-to with your camera phone and post it to a moblogging site. Then you hope that the person in question visits the site, sees him or herself, isn't creeped out beyond all belief that some weird person is taking secret pictures and posting them to the internet, contacts you, turns out to be normal despite visiting such sites and responding to such creepy come ons from folks who couldn't get up the nerve to just say "hi," and falls in love. Sounds like a real winner.

Now let's see if we can connect the dots:

Esther Dyson<->blogging/personal publishing<->photo objects/ease of authoring,->digital lifestyle aggregation.

new! improved! now with pictures!.

There's nothing like getting tech support from the head of the company....so while I was talking with Elliot Noss of Tucows about the small-business market that he serves, I also asked him how I could put pictures into my blog. Without hesitation, he recommended that I read the ... manual! which, lo and behold, shows it's quite easy!

 What's with all the "photo albums" and select categories and so on. It should be as easy as instantiating a link!Hey Elliot... it's *not* that easy...! but I finally got it to work...)

 herewith a picture of the Tower of London

  

 a place made more meaningful by being featured in Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver, which I am in the middle of reading. (There will be a lot more of it in the third volume of the Baroque cycle, "the System of the world," he assures me.) that was earlier this week.

 On Thursday and Friday, I was visiting notable buildings of Washington. Here's some of the Capitol Building's underground railway....

 

It runs from one side of the Capitol to another, and contains, so I hear, components manufactured in each of the 50 states (which is why it took many years and more than $10 million to build). It's amazingly clean, and probably the only subway most of its senior passengers ever ride. On the other hand, working stiffs get to use it too!

And here's my friend Manus Cooney, a lawyer and lobbyist who's explaining these underground passageways to me; he's talking to Paul Martino, a lawyer for the Senate Commerce Committee.

Why was I there? One - talking with the Washingon wizards about the Accountable Net. And two - trying to find out the differences in tech policy between the two parties... stay posted.

[EDventure]

Wait a minute!  I thought Paul Martino was the CTO of Tribe.net?  :-)

I've been working with Paul recently - and so his name jumped out at me.

Paul got Tribe to support FOAF, RSS and Jabber.

Right on to Paul.  And right on to Esther to discovering the power of Personal MEDIA Publishing!

Late to the mobl0gging game

Late to the mobl0gging game 12/19/2004 03:21 PM
After nearly a day's worth of fiddling (and two years worth of delay in getting a mobile with a camera), I've got my phone posting photos to both Flickr and my new sidebar section Photographing. Right now the pictures are just junk shots from around the apartment as I trouble-shot many issues. And here's a weird one for those of you contemplating the Nokia 6600: I was unable to send my photos (as multimedia messages) to anyone until I'd first sent one to myself. Wha? Yup. That's what T-Mobile support told me. I said to the woman, "Well it's good I called. How on earth was I supposed to figure that out? Why's it like that?" And she said, "That's the way the system is designed." Of course that's the way the system's designed. [Insert requisite rant about retarded systems design here.] Aside from that, I'm psyched for more moblogging about town. Now I just need to get out of my bathrobe and actually go "about town."

Fun with Flickr

Fun with Flickr 09/01/2004 08:42 PM
At the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies conference earlier this year I was lucky enough to get a demo of Flickr, the photo-sharing software and service from Ludicorp. (The company's president, Stewart Butterfield, is married to Caterina Fake, who did great design work here at Salon several years ago.) At the time I thought it was a neat little photo-sharing tool, but it seemed a little heavy on the Flash, which sometimes makes my head ache, and life got busy and I never got around to exploring it further. Since then Flickr has won much acclaim, and when I needed to figure out a simple way to share photos from a recent family trip, I thought I'd give it another spin last night. Turns out it has evolved beautifully since my introduction to it, and I ended up playing with it for hours, so let me now belatedly add my enthusiasm to the chorus.

It's an exquisitely well designed Web application, certainly one of the best I've ever seen, full of smart interface choices and nice little finishing touches that let you know that the developers who've built it are also heavy users of their own handiwork.

Tiny example: I noticed Flickr was dating the photos based on the date I uploaded them, so I went in to change a bunch of dates to reflect when the photos were taken. The page contained this helpful message: "The date posted is the date & time you physically published your photo on Flickr, not the date the photo was taken. We are currently storing the date that your photo was taken in the database, so rest assured you won't need to modify every photo later... There will soon be a way to sort your photos based on the date the photo was taken. Stay tuned!" So I didn't waste my time. That's what I call a considerate piece of software. And along the way you learn that Flickr is respectfully storing each photo's metadata (date, type of camera used, all that EXIF stuff that you almost never need to look at, except when you do).

It's easy to get started with Flickr, and then when you want to push it and do more with it, it leads you gently into its depths. It has a whole layer of social software -- profiles, groups, and so forth -- but since its primary function is photo sharing, that social software actually has a raison d'etre, so you don't just sit there (as with so many other ventures in this area) and wonder "Now that we're here and we know each other's hobbies and marital status, what exactly do we do?"

I am generally distrustful of using Web applications as anything more than conveniences for away-from-home access. I want my data close at hand, and most Web interfaces are still too clunky to allow for fast and complex organizing of serious quantities of stuff. But I'm seriously thinking about making Flickr my photo home base -- it's that good. And if Flickr's speedy evolution in a mere six months is any indication, the thing is going to improve -- and grow -- at an intense rate.
