Update your online diary on the move, mobile blogging makes it possible
Indeed the first weblogs were similar in layout to a logbook on board ship, which was a chronological record of what the crew experienced and discovered. Mobile blogging or moblogging describes the addition of entries to a weblog by means of a mobile phone. The users of weblogs and mobile blogging are called bloggers.
In the USA especially, weblogs enjoy the support of a growing fan community. According to the Washington opinion research institute Pew Internet, by the end of 2004 already eight million people in the USA alone had posted weblogs on the net1. Throughout the world the number of online diaries is currently estimated at over 30 million. New ones are being added every day.
Write your online diary wherever you are with Siemens Blog2Go
Mobile blogging – updating a weblog via the mobile phone – works with the two Siemens phones CX75 and CF75. Pre-installed in these devices is the Java client Blog2Go, developed specially for the company, which can connect to existing blog communities. Siemens Blog2Go can enable text, pictures, sound and even a short video clip to be shared with countless people quickly, simply, and at low cost.
Mobile blogging in 3 steps
It doesn't take much to master mobile blogging. As a user you first register with one of the weblog services in the internet, most of which are free. When registration is confirmed, you set up the blogging provider on your mobile phone (e.g. the Siemens CX75 / CF75). And you are able to do the first entry in your weblog from wherever you are. Bloggers either upload content to their weblogs from their mobile phones via GPRS, or they send an MMS. The only costs are the carrier-specific charges for data transmission. Whether you want to share a romantic sunset or the news that you've passed your exams: friends, family, and even strangers if you like, are put in the picture straight away with a single entry. Depending on the weblog service, readers can be informed that an update has been made. The great thing about a weblog is that links can be set up to related topics, and comments added to entries in a variety of ways. The best thing about mobile blogging is that wherever you are – say on holiday or on a business trip – those at home are brought up to speed quickly, easily and cheaply.
