Moblogging: its history, present, and future. A presentation to the First International Moblogging Conference, Tokyo, 05 July 2003. We're here today to talk about moblogging, and the interesting thing about moblogging is that everyone has a slightly different take on just what that word means. When we were putting together the agenda for this conference, we very deliberately did not say, well, this is moblogging and that is not. We wanted to cast a wide net, and the result is the diversity of presentations we've seen today, from GPS-based shared photo albums to phone-to-Web hacks. This sort of agnosticism is exactly what is needed at this point in the evolution of any technology and associated practice: let a hundred flowers bloom, and all that.
