Just a link and some thoughts

Joi Ito sounds a bit despirited and asks if more moblogging will help.

Anyways, he's right. Moblogging has been around since 2003 and not much has happened... or has it?

Not regarding new development. More of the same has happened. More mobloggers, more mobilecameras, more users, more moblog publishers. But nothing NEW.

When looking at our users at mobilblogg.net they are clearly not early adopters. They are common people (whatever that is) with ordinary jobs (whatever that is). Not the alpha geeks. They left moblogging in 2003. And did something else. Like tagging and AJAX.

The next logical step is consuming blogs via the phone. But connection speed will keep that development on hold for a while. At least for our users. (we'll see what can happen with 3G and Wifi phones, but we are not there just yet).

But then again- since moblogging is coming to the masses- some of the bigger powers of the web and mobileindustry (Google, Nokia, 3, msn) are starting to pay serious attention to moblogging.
