Blog From Your Cellphone?
seldo writes "The BBC has an article up about blogging from your mobile phone. The idea is not really news, but the interesting part is the host of links to interesting new (free) software that lets you do it, including: Manywhere Moblogger (Java), WAPBlog (Perl), and KABLOG (J2ME mobile Java, runs on devices like Palms, the Treo and Blackberries). All three of these interface to also-free server side tech which you need to set up yourself (KABLOG interfaces to the popular MovableType server and compatibles). The article also mentions the proprietary foneblog service which seems very easy to use, but it is software intended to be run by cellphone companies for their users."
Well, someone beat me, darn cellphones suck.
Who ever came up with the word 'blog' should be taken out and fed to the dolphins.
If a train station is a place where a train stops, what's a workstation?
This is excellent! Now, if there was only some way to incorporate those annoying little ringtones into my website...
Posting as directed.
Since the media can take 'hacker' and make it mean 'cracker', and the gaming industry can take 'roleplaying game' and make it mean, 'linear adventure game'...
I'm hereby hijacking 'blog' to mean 'the act of taking a dump'.
Now, getting back to the subject at hand, it is likely the person that came up with the vileness that is 'blog' would not allow the dolphins to blog him good.
Likely, we'd end up with a bunch of constipated dolphins.
"The idea is not really news" Good job. Wouldn't want to spoil a Monday morning with news! Looking forward to news this afternoon. Or this evening. Or tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow, once I've woken up.
the way i see it is blogging really is just an outlet people use. now people who read blogs of other people seem a /little/ weird for me. The ability to update your blog via a phone might not be so good. imagine all these girls on dates
GIRL: "hold on one second"
BOY : "anything , baby"
* GIRL punches in blog of how bad date is going
* BOY uses his wireless web to read her blog
BOY : "i brought you flowers"
*repeat update procedure
not a good thing.

Add in another 20 lines of the above, and that should do it. It'd suck if I wanted to add an HREF to imdb.com ;-).

A friend of mine had this idea and suggested calling it 'bogging' rather than a blogging, as you could add entried whilst on the bog. That's where I have all my profound thoughts anyway.
(For non British, 'bog' = toilet).
Is it just me whose arm involuntarily clamps down on the armrest by the pure fucking geekyness every time I hear the word "blog"?
gAAAAH!
cut this shit out already
when you can actually do this via voice-recognition, rather than composing text by hand. Ah, the day when you can simply flip open your phone, and start off with, "Captain's Log, stardate..."

I wonder when it'll be possible to moblog from a WiFi-enabled iPod. Even if the text entry interface sucks, the sheer trendiness of the combined buzzwords will carry it through.

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!
Now we can have all sorts of morons hitting speed-dial and shouting out "FIRST POST!" on their phones. Yeah.

Excellent idea! They should all be *forced* to use horrid input devices for weblogs... maybe they'll get tired of it and shut the hell up for a change. =)
Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!
I'm surprised I didn't see this one coming. It's the perfect marriage between useless technology and a waste of time.
