Blogging With Camera Phones

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-a-dollar-an-entry dept.

Zastrossi writes "The Register reports that NewBay Software, "is to offer software to mobile operators that will enable mobile phone users to create and maintain Weblogs or 'blogs' using only their phones." Sounds like a pretty sound idea, particularly in that they're selling to the telcos as opposed to consumers. SMS was one revenue source for mobile providers, will camera phones become another?"

    What's next? Being able to create and maintain Weblogs from computers?? What an incredible age we live in!

    If only somebody can invent software that would make the random writings/thoughts of millions of nitwits worth reading.

    THAT would be a blog revolution, my friends.

    I only use my sanyo-5300 so I can remember hot women the next day... since I tend to drink a bit on the heavy side whilst I'm out about town. :)

    Anyone else feel that there's probably a direct relation between the growing popularity of blogging and the growing number of unemployed IT workers?

    I can see it now.

    You: "Hey, where's those hot babes I met last night when I was drunk?"

    Your Phone: "I deleted them, trust me, you don't want to see what you did last night."

    How about, instead of blogging with it, you make like the Japanese and bully schoolmates with it!. Apparently some ticked-off classmate took a picture of a (rather attractive) girl in his class and forwarded it to his friends, along with some rather nasty information including her name and her... promiscuous behavior.

    And don't forget this gem regarding voyeurism with cell phones. My favorite quote?

    The girl was alerted to his presence by the noise emitted by the phone camera's shutter. She turned around to catch Hamano with his hands between her legs
