Social Media meet the Social Platform
from mobilejones.com
Will blogs move to images and sound bites like the transition from newspapers to TV of the past? I'd bet on it, and the importance of location-to-time will be a factor in future reputation services. One has to wonder when blog services will begin to measure and how they will measure moblogging 2.0.

Bloggers are a visible and vocal force in society and the market place. O2 is the first, but not the last, network operator to learn that populist media has changed the consumer relationship. Future marketing and service design will pay a price for not consulting user concerns in the design process or be rewarded for having done so. The new usability mantra is easy + friendly business model.

All of the photos here were taken with either the Nokia N90 mobile phones. Can you tell which is which?

If anyone gets a chance to try this out, please let me know. I'd like to test your podcast on my phone.

In response to Russell Beattie's complaint about the use of his PSP image, it's important to point out a few things.
1)Fair use requires that an image be 150 pixels or less
2)That the image is sourced (linking isn't a requirement)
3)The content was used for noncommerical educational purposes only
4)The image pertained to the information presented
These conditions were met in the post.
There is an interesting element of irony in the complaint, because if you scan through Beattie's blog you'll find numerous posts introduced by images that are not original and not sourced or not linked. It's disconcerting that a prominent blogger like Russ, would apply a double standard to the use of other people's IP versus his. Further, as an adovcate of consumer use of media, that Russ would object to an application of fair use as applied to his image is incomprehensible.
Fair use isn't theft, Russ. You're characterization of this post as such is merely inaccurate or uninformed. If you were concerned, why not send an email with your request? Don't think the traffic you sent wasn't appreciated, but perhaps a respectful request would have been more inspiring than a very public flame - as long as we're talking about etiquette, that is.
I've not had the pleasure to meet Russell Beattie in person (hope to correct that someday), but by all accounts he's an affable sort. His blog contributes to the evangelizing of the mobile life style, and his participation in Mobile Mondays are all positive contributions. The inconsistencies of some of his interactions with those who disagree with him may be an indication of a quick temper. We all have our foibles, and in the brave new world of constant and instant self expression sometimes the fingers get ahead of the filter between thought and speech.
BakeTown of the blog http://baketown.blogspot.com is the winner of a Nokia 6680. Yes, she's an anonymous blogger, and does so to prevent being "dooced". BakeTown will receive her 6680 from Nokia in about 3 weeks. And I'm eager to see a new moblog launched.
Thanks to everyone who attended the Moblogging Session. I regret that we had so many difficulties with wi-fi service in our room. Do join the moblogher Yahoo! group started to continue the conversation until we meet again next year.
Congratulations to BakeTown.
