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.

The Nokia N95, E61 etc

Already have GPSs on board, already have mapping on board, already have photo and video, already have a "lifeblog" on board to sync the phone info up with your favourite blog.

What I'm saying is, it's been done already, you guys are so 2005.

 

dont wait for android -- Loopt!

Seriously -- there's nothing unique to or new in the iPhone 2.0 or Google's Android platform that you need to enable geo-based twittering, photo-ing, etc.

Loopt's been out a while and just enabled a bunch more users now that Verizon Wireless blessed it for many of their phones.
