Nokias Lifeblog 2.0

Exciting times we moblogoholics live in. Last week, SonyEricssons moblogphones and now NOKIA launches Lifeblog 2.0

And what are people saying? Usual comment on SE's initiative is "Nice but only if you use Blogger, googles blogtool" (and between the lines we understand that google will turn "evil" any time now, which happens to all companies with total marketdomination.)

But lets compare these two initiatives.

SE chose blogger, NOKIA Six Apart, (according to this article, couldn't find any references on nokia.com)

SE puts the main focus on simplicity - with the Bestpic solution we all can use regardless of how and where we share. One click and you have a moblog.

NOKIAS features with tagging and locations are far more sophisticated, but still only works with Liefblog 2.0 (?) And on PC only. No mac users allowed. ( I have a mac and is somewhat biased)

NOKIA demands one download for your N Series phone, one for your PC.
SE phones are ready to go.

So the most platform independent and user friendly initiative is SE's, (based on that you dont need a PC, or even a computer)?

The most sophisticated and with the most functionality is NOKIA? (based on all the functions with tagging and audioclips that SE don't have- yet)

(And about the audioclips- that will soon be a feature on all moblogs).

Both of them thinks that moblogs first of all are medialbums, or simple blogs.
None of them emphasizes community moblogging- which maybe is natural. But for most who discovered moblogging, for them it is a social thing. It is not about photoalbums.

PS

I have one objection to the comparison I made here. It all collapses if you claim that Lifeblog 2.0 is not moblogging. It is something else, maybe Life recording.

See the difference?
(And where do you want to record your life?)
