Mobile Blogging is Here and Gaining in Popularity

By: Anita Burnett

Mobile blogging is blogging on the go. It is an exciting phenomenon that is sweeping the blogosphere. One of the reasons why a lot of bloggers are attracted to the medium of blogging in the first place is that they enjoy being able to make frequent updates and posts that keep all of their visitors up to speed with current situations and events.

Have you noticed the popularity of video phones for live or up to the minute events on television, well that is what mobile blogging is doing for the World Wide Web.

Mobile blogs, or "moblogs," (by the way, I wish they would have given it the nickname 'goblob') take this to the extreme by allowing users to post things literally as they happen. This new wave of moblogs and mobloggers keep web surfers up to date with good and bad events of importance as they occur all over the world, helping to make international communication faster and more accurate. These mobloggers are like reporters on the scene only they report to blog sites instead of newspapers.

Many who are blogging have a feeling of limitation that has a lot to do with geography. After all, a blog is delayed by the time needed to run home and boot up in order to update it. However, mobile blogging marks the beginning of a thrilling new era when web-based communication can happen spontaneously from any location. Moblogging devices mean that there is almost nowhere on the earth that remains off-limits for bloggers. As long as they can get a signal, they can blog and update information.

Mobile blogging is still in its infancy because the technology that makes it possible has only recently hit the global market. The first moblog technology became available over a decade ago, but it is only the past two or three years that mobile web devices have become user-friendly enough to appeal to most consumers.

As camera phones and other mobile technology become more popular, more and more bloggers are getting away from their desks and are hitting the streets. Moblogging is becoming much more widespread that it was even a few months ago, and mobloggers are quickly attracting a lot of attention with the blogging community. It is not yet clear whether moblogs will become the dominant kinds of blogs in the years to come, but the current trend seems to imply that moblogs are here to stay.

People want information now. They don't want to wait for tomorrows news paper to hit the news stand or for the late night news to get our information. Bloggers are no different from news addicts, they also want updates and new information as it happens.

Mobile devices make it possible to blog from the sites where current events are unfolding, which is one of the reasons why mobile blogging has so much thrilling potential to revolutionize the blogosphere. A moblogger with a camera phone can post blog entries from, say, the foot of the stage at a presidential debate, or from the stands during the final moments of the super bowl or at the collapse of a bridge in one of our larger cities.

This enables bloggers to experience the same real time thrills that live television coverage provides, but in a more democratic medium. There is also less effort, it takes less time to prepare for blogging than it does to set up the media needed to cover a live event.

The combination of mobility and individual control that moblogging provides certainly places mobloggers on the cutting edge of today's communications technology, and it is hard to imagine that the number and prestige of moblogs will not continue to grow in the coming years.

Since mobile blogging is here and gaining in popularity, if you love to blog and love to go out and experience life in person, then get a blogging device and get out there and have a lot of fun.
