According to CCID's May 23 News, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft provided users with a large number of simple and practical tools, allowing almost everyone to create their own blogs and publish news as long as they have a digital camera and PC.
Thanks to technical devices such as mobile phones and handheld computers, you can publish photos or press releases anytime on the streets, beaches, or hotels, in a few seconds, these messages will post your blog, and you will become a real mobile blog ).
"Short messages and photo mobile phones are two powerful tools for hundreds of thousands of potential news reporters around the world, it is easy to understand that no matter where a major event occurs, messages will soon be seen on the Internet."
In the severe tsunami disaster in South Asia, mobile blog shows its powerful power and wide application. After the disaster, a large number of blog messages were immediately posted on the Internet, but the responses from mainstream media slowed down. The blog website Waveofdestruction.org created by Australian Jeffrey hentri published a large number of first-hand live video materials in the first time of the disaster.
Adam greenfed, who once convened the first global mobile Blog conference, was considered the first to propose the Mobile Blog definition in 2002, but in fact, mobile devices were used to publish messages on the Internet in the 1990 s. Many may recall that Steve Mann used a mobile device, a portable computer, to publish images to the Internet. Mann experienced a fire later. He sent all 45 photos taken at the scene to the internet. Now, this is the earliest mobile blog.
However, more than a decade later, mobile blogs have become popular only when digital cameras have become common consumer products. In recent years, online photo sharing has become popular among Internet users. Kodak has set up a website to provide similar services. However, the viewer of these virtual albums is limited to the invitation of the host, google, Yahoo, and MSN hope to make the album a blog content that more users can browse. For example, Yahoo's Flickr blog website can open photos to more users.
Blog and mobile blog have become a new battlefield for Yahoo, MSN, and Google, because there are a lot of money in it, MSN has started the advertising business in the blog. By controlling the promotional positions of "grassroots" reporters and platforms for communication with other online users, they control a large number of online views and advertise on the webpage.
