moblog or not?

What makes a moblog a moblog?

When surfing the net searching for moblogs I often stumble over something called "moblog" and what I see is uploaded pictures clearly NOT taken with cameraphones.

Well... if the picture is NOT taken with a mobile camera, and a mobile telephone is NOT used to send the picture - then why call it a moblog?

On the other hand -why restrict users to cameraphones? Maybe posting screenshots and photos via computer suits them better in some cases-the moblog functions are just one of many ways to blog? Maybe that is better? But is it a moblog?

And when is it not a moblog? When there is no way to post from your mobile (of course), or when nobody uses those moblog features (could be)?

The trend at mobilblog.net.
is that fever and fever sends in pictures that are not taken by cameraphone (in other words: almost all pictures and movies sent to mobilblogg.net are taken with cameraphones, and sent from the phone via mail or MMS)

Now- that´s a moblog!
