Mobile Blogging 101 and 401
I know that many of you are familar with the college way of doing classes:
- 101 is for introductory classes
- 201 is for the theory centered classes
- 301 is for the research writing classes
- 401 is for the get out and apply the last three classes classes
Well, think of this as a 101 and a 401 class mixed into one. You are about to get a quick introduction into mobile blogging.
First comes from a recent posting at Palm Addict. The application in this case is called TypePad Mobile and supports Symbian Series 60, PalmOS and Windows Mobile devices. TypePad Mobile is a free application for your Palm, Windows Mobile or Symbian Series 60 smartphone that lets you post photos and entries to your TypePad blogs and photo albums with just a few clicks. Visit http://get.typepad.com/ from your smartphone to install it directly to your device.
I know I am on Blogger and TypePad is a competitor, but its mobile and helps you to better share the word, hope the Blogger folks don't mind too much.
The second is a favorite of mine and many times used here. Mo:Blog is a shareware blogging application for PalmOS devices. It published to Blogger, WordPress, and MovType Blogs (and probably a few others) and has a really simple and powerful interface. You can upload pictures with your postings as well. It's pretty slick and not too expensive. Download and purchase from the Mo:Blog Website.
Another product that works on multiple devices we covered a few days ago called Splash Blog. Check out this post to see more about Splash Blog, or visit the SplashBlog website and sign up for your own free blog and share with MMM how you are using your mobile device in pictures.
Another neat mobile blogging solution comes from the folks at WordPress. Via their mobile site (http://m.wordpress.com) one can post and do a ton of administration to their blog from their mobile device. I have recently begun a new blog via WordPress and it is quite fun to be able to just go to the website to post rather than via an application (though using an application to post comes in handy when you are not in a spot where you can do a wireless connection).
Now here is the application side of mobile blogging. Take your community and stretch its effectiveness to being beyond borders and in-person interactions. Have members of your church post via their phones to the church photoblog. Have military personnel subscribe to podcasts while overseas and away from their families. Use the business card feature of your mobile device to send to people a SMS (text) or MMS (media) message about the goodness of God and how they can get plugged into a fellowship.
To somewhat take a line from Microsoft: how will you use a mobile to change the world today?
