Moblog as travelbog

A group of mobloggers at mobilblogg.net just came back from Thailand. The whole trip was followed by our community (and some outsiders, the travellers relatives and girlrfriends).

They moblogged just about everything they did and created a nice album with pictures from thailand.

They bought pre-paid international SIM card from 12Call and Happy, mobile carriers in Thailand, and paid domestic rates for sending MMS, which is about a third of the price here in Sweden.

Smart thinking guys!

Study of moblogging

Not long ago we had a visit from Karin Wagner, who for the University of Gothenburg is doing a study on some moblog communities, - moblog.co.uk, mobilblogg.net and "some dutch moblog"(she didnt say or I don't remember).

It turned into an interesting interview, and she raised some questions that I never thought of, and some things that I don't reflect on anymore. I'm not going to give you many examples, you will have to read her study when it´s finsihed. :-)

The thing I was most proud of was how impressed she was over how lively and friendly our community is. How friendly people are, how creative, and how much time and energy people put into their moblogs and the surrounding community.

There have also been arranged some IRL activities, like bowling, invitations to parties and guided tours of one city to mobloggers visiting from another city. I don't really think about that anymore, just taking it for granted. Well, these activities are of course being moblogged as they happen, but apart from that I think they occur in most successful online communities.
