First there were blogs. Then YouTube and Flickr created image-rich platforms where users could create visual journals, display creative works or promote their personal views and then exchange a list of their favorites with other users.

Next Twitter popularized micro-blogging, the social networking site limited to text-based posts or “tweets” not longer than 140 characters. The concept is to answer the simple question “What are you doing now?”, and since Twitter allows only 140 characters, it was a natural fit for texting.

At the same time, mobile-marketing began showing significant results in reaching and connecting with specific market segments.

It only makes sense to put together the best of all of these phenomenons: A “moblog” or Mobile blogging site is a place where the user can publish blog entries to the web, including images, right from a mobile phone. It’s a great idea for those addicted to blogging letting them post even when on the move.

Moblogging is a whole new type of short form blogging, that incorporates the best one-to-one benefits from blogs, the visual richness of Flickr and YouTube, and the social interaction and simplicity of Twitter.
