What's a Moblog?
Well ... it's a "mobile" + "web log (aka blog)" ... in other words: a blog published via your mobile phone (or sometimes PDA such as a Blackberry or Palm device). Almost all moblogs are made with camera phones. It's pretty simple, you take a snap, add a few words of text via your phone's keypad, then *send* it from your phone to your blog.
Most mobloggers are into self-published special interest blogs, such as this "day in the life at Microsoft" site. For some, moblogging's all about sharing camera pics with, well, everybody; they go to sites such as Yafro and BuzzNet.
Promotional Hooks
Last spring, Pontiac ran a "spotter" promotion called "Catch a G6" in which consumers were asked to take a photo with their cell phones when they spot a new Pontiac G6 and send it in to win $1 million. This article from USA Today covers it (and others from Scion, Kodak and more).
