Whatever happened to serendipity?
A great presentation on moblogging by Adam Greenfield of v-2.org. He was one of the organizers the first conference on the topic.
As for me being a moblogger, my phone is now camera equipped and I can use mfop to post to my site, but it just doesn’t seem to work out. Whether it is due to not having a keyboard, or just not having anything interesting to say in transit, I just haven’t had the inclination to do much of it.
Now, when my dream phone comes out I might act differently. For the record, my dream phone is bluetooth-enabled, iSync-compatible, has a decent digital camera, has WiFi, GPRS, tri-band GSM, and PDA functionality. Most importantly, it needs to have a thumboard for real text entry. There are a variety of phones out there that have most of these features/acronyms but none have them all. Of course, it needs to be well designed too—it can’t look like Maxwell Smart’s shoe phone.
Oh, and in passing, Adam mentions that Peter Merholz coined the term ‘blog’. I had no idea that was the case because Peter certainly hasn’t claimed that distinction that I am aware of. Good little factoid, if true.
