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 from Flickr

Mobl0gging from Flickr 07/08/2004 01:54 PM

I think from now on - whenever there's a hot new technology or service that I KNOW Seb is gonna pick up - I'll wait for him to blog it. and then I'll just blog his post.

But what happens when Seb goes on vacation?

Anyway here's what he has to say about this coolio new Flickr feature.

Great move, guys. Notice how photo sharing service Flickr is not in the
business of blogging per se but keeps finding clever ways to ride the
wave. Integrating pictures is a pain point for the many people who
struggle with file uploading, management, and markup. Flickr nicely
lowers the barrier to entry here. Of course this synergy could not
happen if the blogging solutions didn't provide APIs for posting.

Here's what a hap py user had to say:

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.

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."

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.

Using OpenOffice

Using OpenOffice 04/18/2004 09:51 AM

It's possible to ditch Microsoft Office: I actually used OpenOffice (used as opposed to played with, which I've done a number of times) the other day to write a document. It was fantastic. In many respects, better than Word.

I'll admit that a lot of my desire to use Linux and other software alternatives is just to be counter-culture. Not so in this case. OpenOffice is not only a legitimate alternative to the old guard that is Microsoft Office, it may be better. Look for a day where people struggle to justify why they're using Microsoft Office and not the alternative.

Is today's OpenOffice good enough for the enterprise? For most jobs — word processing, presentations or spreadsheets — the answer is yes. Compatibility with Microsoft Office isn't a problem unless sophisticated macros are involved. Interoperability, the greatest hurdle to conquer on the way to adoption, is almost a nonissue. OpenOffice even offers features missing in Microsoft Office, like PDF or Flash data exports.
