Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality?
An anonymous reader writes "The iPhone 3G and Android devices are coming this year, opening the mobile world for rich applications, while sites like Fire Eagle and byNotes are ready to move your blogging habits into the geospatial world. Are we going to watch the next boom when those devices and geospatially enabled sites get combined? Sure, the posibilities this would open are endless, but are users going to embrace these services?" I don't see how it can't change the world ... it has 'Micro' and 'Blog' in the name, and I'll always know where I was when I twittered to tell everyone I was in the john.

If anyone ever uses the word 'Geomicroblogging' with me in conversation I might just break several of their bones. When will the madness stop?
Nobody gives a rats ass about where you are when you tell the world what you are doing...Unless it's hilariously unintentional.

Sounds like a Twitter Shitter to me.

English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?
Having consensual sex versus getting raped? What's the difference?
I have the next new big product in blogging... its called "aLife". aLife is currently not available where you are sitting now, but for the low price of $1,000 you can order yours today! aLife includes adventure, romance, excitement, and best of all it includes a lifetime guarantee! If you want a blog that everyone on the internet will read, simply get aLife and you might just find that you acutally have something interesting to write about!
I understand blogging, I don't do it because I think I'd rather live my life than write about it, but I get it.
I just don't understand why so many people are so excited about being able to blog in so many different ways... if it doesn't improve the quality or the value of the content what good does it do?
I don't know the figures, but I know that at least 99% of all blog traffic is to less than 5% of the blogs on the internet, and I know why that is... CONTENT! Give these bloggers a tool to create better content!
Sometimes the best solution is to stop wasting time looking for an easy solution.
Wait for geoNANOblogging to come around.
The type of people that invent/mashup these names on their blogs etc have a dream of one day standing in front of a crowd of people while being introduced as "the father/inventor/visionary of microcyberblugblurging".
Engineering is the art of compromise.
I will have to agree with this. I could broadcast my life online too, but whats the point? No one in their right mind would give a flying shit what I waste all of my time on.
7:00AM - Woke up
7:10AM - Started coffee
7:30AM - Drank some coffee
8:00AM - At work
9:00AM - Still at work
10:00AM - Why are you still reading this?
Can all fish swim?
I geonanoblog, which is easily a thousand times cooler.
Dude, what the hell happened at 10:15 AM!!??? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

Did you shower? We need to know.
Nobody would call anything 'geomicroblogging' if they planned for it to be routinely used by millions of people. Can you imagine? "Hi, did you see my geomicroblog the other day? I posted some stuff about geomicroblogging. I'm sorry, the reception isn't very good on this cell phone - the address of restaurant we're going to is on my geomicroblog. No, I said geomicroblog. GEO MICRO BLOG! Oh never mind, it's Andy's Bar And Grill, which is the same number of syllables anyway."
If by some random chance this actually caught on, the word would immediately be shortened (see: "blog" from "web log" from "personal content management system").
I propose "gumble."
