Now this is cool. It’s not VoIP related but this is so, so sweet. The folks who make TypePad, Six Apart and Nokia have teamed up to enable Mobile blogging easily.
So yesterday after seeing the demo at DemoMobile 2004 I rushed to the booth and had a chat with Nokia’s Charlie Schick and Mena, the founder of Six Apart about Mobile Blogging. Mena beamed me the Mobile Blogging application, which is still in late Beta, Charlie explained how this all came about, and after fidlling with the settings for my Typepad account, then calling T-Mobile this morning, I joined the Mobile Blogging generation.
This will be a huge thing for me. I’ve always hated the time involved in taking pictures, then having to go to my PC, do the uploading from the camera when I’m on trips. What’s great about this service from Six Apart is I can have multiple blogs set up on the phone (my spanking new Nokia 7610) and then via GPRS — in this case the T-Mobile T-Zones, send a photo with limited text, which, I can then edit later.
The vision of blogging for fun, as well as business was always here. I discussed audioblogging with Mena and Charlie, with the idea of being able to send a FastChat message to the blog, versus how it would have to be done currently.
I’m stoked, and headed back today, for more Mobile Photo Blogging….Six Apart—You Rock ! Thanks Mena.
It was great meeting and talking to you as well. And to see a TypePad user in attendance who had the 7610!
