Micro-blogging site http://onhandblog.com is a convenient, straightforward approach to mobile blogging. You don’t even have to sign in to post to your account. They use something called a Master Key embedded in your micro-blog’s URL. That way you can bookmark your posting page, bypassing the step of signing in with a username and password when on your mobile phone.

This last weekend I sent 4 posts to my wordpress blog using email and attachments (images) via a smartphone – dead easy. Why did I do it? Because it was WordCamp UK 2008 and I wanted to provide up to the minute reportage of the event. OK, so you need to use the postie plugin and tweak it a bit, but once set up it’s a doddle. And now you can download an iphone/wordpress app to blog from your iphone.

If you want more than a sentence forget Twitter for that kind of scenario. All these things have their place. Don’t get hung up on one solution. Moblogging is alive and well.

yes agree with alfie to some extent, unless the site has been cleaned up , seemed to be a bottom feeder. SMS rules the youth culture in many countries , so it will always have users

[...] this blog post is certainly inspired by Mikes article on Moblog over on Techcrunch, and I almost just want to sort of think through it myself, as there were some criticisms in there [...]

ah dear Mobog, the porn of mobile blogging sites I remember when you guys launched and I was like ‘yup, people do like posting porn on the internets’.

Moblog has a multifacted offering and that is what makes it difficult to coin exactly what they do. What makes it even more complex are the varying ways in which people are using the service. In its infancy the focus was on taking pictures on your mobile phone and posting them to your moblog via MMS or the phone email client. This expanded to people uploading pictures from their desktop (perhaps after post-processing, or because they didn’t want to pay for data rates from their phone, or because they were using point & shoot or DSLR cameras without the ability to upload on the spot).

Now that the service has expanded to incorporate SMS, voice-to-text (through Spinvox), inline video, geotagging etc. there are even more ways that the site is beginning to be used. In this article, Moblog is being positioned as a “Wordpress for mobile blogging”. I’ve also heard of it being likened to a cross between Twitter and Flickr, but IMO it’s an amalgam of all three of the aforementioned, plus a Vimeo (or another good video service) and it’s all wrapped up in a fully accessible “mobile” bow. In addition the entire proposition is backed by the fantastic core community of people that has been continually growing since launch.

Mike is 100% right about the interface, but this is somewhat offset by the blogs being customizable. People really need to go and see for themselves what moblog have to offer and put the service through its paces. There really is a lot to be excited about.

Er Joe, Moblog does that already. The Spinvox integration means you can just call a post in, it gets converted to text and posted to your moblog along with the audio file. Heck, you can even signup just by calling one of our international numbers.

We’re not about microblogging per se, mobile captured images convey an entire story without words, all we’ve done is update the platform to make everything much much easier.

Twitter’s big innovation was allowing cellphone users to make micro-blog posts. If I understand moblog, it aims to bring mobile posts to full scale blogs. But who wants to type more than 140 characters into a complete blog post from your cellphone? How about a company blends voice recognition with a mobile blogging service? Then the user can just call in the blog post which is converted to text for posting to the site. Perhaps the readers of the blog are given the option to listen to the post as a podcast or read it? Would be a nice step in this evolution.

Terrible Coverage. Six Apart and Words Press have Mobile Blogging Utilities. MoBlog, go home.

I think moblog has a great future. And with companies like that trying to make it easier for people, I expect a boom in the next year.

I’ve been using it for a year or two, and the community there have always been unusually friendly and supportive, although largely UK based.

I’ve been using moblog for 3 years now and the recent site upgrade has dare i say… “Made my life better”

Geo mapping, better features and you can do everything you can do on other blogging sites with the added advantage of everything being mobile!

If you haven’t got one, get one now!
