Part 1 of this look at moblogging is a shallow survey of the possible. The deeper effects will come when it changes how people think about memory, privacy, co-working, and place.
Memory.
I had a training job at Compaq Computer where I met and spent time with 3000 people over nine months. If I'd snapped their portraits and blogged a few notes about each one, I'd have had some chance at sustaining a relationship, keeping names with faces. That would have been a career multiplier.
Imagine having near perfect recall of the meetings you've ever taken. All the business phone calls you've ever made.
Now imagine dipping into someone else's memory bank.
Privacy.
Mobile phones now go wherever people go. And so go cameras and the ability to blog from anywhere. There is no privacy. Everyone you meet, anywhere, can capture your conversation, image, location, and timestamp.
You can't walk outside in much of Manhattan or London without being under constant private or government video surveillance. This is nothing compared to the tsunami of moblogged snaps, videos, and sounds.
We'll carve out exceptions. Some will be internal "safe zones," like the Davos "no press or public notes" sessions. Others will be social norms, like taking your shoes off before entering a home and leaving your cameraphone at the door. (Household mobile phone jammer: my patent pending.)
Co-Working.
Most jobs won't be affected. Many will be. And the nature of working together will change.
Lots of studies look at how videoconferencing affects teams. Moblogging takes this to the extreme. Plug into your team 7/24. Moblogging will eventually bring battlefield area network practices to the office. To the field. To the classroom.
And with memory.
Place.
Matt Romaine's comments are on point.
A place is not just what it is.
It is its human history.
It is what has been blogged there before. It is the social network comprising the people who pass this way. And what they saw and heard. And did there.
And a place becomes a nexus. A midpoint among other places this social network passed before and after. Tracings of how people use places, how we flow among them. Layered upon physical and political maps.
Think time lapse photography. With each moment commented.
Follow the pub crawl. The march on City Hall. The evacuation.
See the where people first stop for food after long flights from Europe. Or commuter flights from D.C.
Moblogging exacerbates the technical and economic challenges of the digital life. But our humanity will both deeply shape and be shaped by these changes.
