A Second Mobile TypePad Post

Thought I’d do another quick post outside to show a better photo and because I’m thinking about how powerful this little mobile application is for a bunch of reasons.

Though we’ve been able to moblog (use a mobile phone to snap and upload photos) for some time, it hasn’t been brain-dead-simple to do for the average person. This app makes it so.

Imagine someone sets up a multi-author blog before a political rally and gives out credentials to several trusted participants. Then an incident erupts. Numerous participants snap photos, type up a paragraph and click “Post” in the app. Instantly there are multiple angles and perspectives both visual and written.

Next will come this possibility (and higher fidelity) photos, video and text as Wimax gets deployed and people can use a smartphone connected to Wimax to send faster.
