FoneBlog from NewBay
FoneBlog from NewBay is "a comprehensive software system that allows mobile phone users run personal websites (called 'blogs') by sending pictures, text and soundclips from their phone." (via Dan Gillmor) [Werblog]
How FoneBlog works
- Users register by sending an SMS messge to a special mobile number (you can also register online)
- Users receive their website name and a password by SMS message to their mobile phone. Inital website name is determined by the network operator (e.g. www.operator.com/mobilenumber).
- Users send SMS, MMS or email messages to a special mobile number
- FoneBlog creates a new entry for each message and places it at the top of their website. Previous entries are moved down and each day a new page is created.
- The blog can be viewed by any web browser
Users can also login to their blog using a web browser to add and edit entries, choose different skins, setup privacy options and change other settings.

John Patrick's take on companies launched at Demo 2003
John Patrick offers his take on the companies launched at Demo 2003. [Werblog]
"It was a special treat to be on a panel with Dan Bricklin, Mitch Kapor, and Les Vadasz to discuss the future of technology and innovation. Much of our discussion focused on blogging and WiFi. It isn't possible to describe all the exciting new things I saw at Demo but I am appending a list of my crib notes with links to the various companies. If you have any inkling that innovation has dried up, you should take a look."

Now Bloggers Can Hit the Road
Wired News -> Now Bloggers Can Hit the Road -> By Peter Rojas -> "Russell Beattie, a programmer who wrote Manywhere Moblogger, says being able to log in gives Kablog an advantage over other e-mail-to-blog applications.
"With Kablog you can go back and edit your posts later," Beattie says, in contrast to the e-mail mode of updating his blog when he's "just posting and forgetting (and hoping)." He adds that one disadvantage of Kablog is that users are unable to add photos, sound or video to their posts because it runs on J2ME. "
