Blogging breaks mobile barrier
By George Gardner
Mobile blogging, know as moblogging, has finally broken the barrier; now enabling you to blog from anywhere at any time without notebooks or any software to download.
Mdog.com has completely changed the face of moblogging; with their mobile blogging portal, bloggers can perform tasks to their blog while remaining absolutely mobile, with no computer dependencies or applications that are difficult to use.
Using any web-enabled mobile device such as a Blackberry, Treo, Windows Mobile, Sidekick, Moterola Q, and some higher end Nokias, users can perform common blogging tasks as responding to comments, uploading photos, posting, and reading.
Through this service, blogs on all major blog services (Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, Xanga, Blogs.com, AOL Blogs, and Livejournal) are automatically formatted for any Web-enabled mobile device.
While there are some mobile blogging applications, these technologies can be limited and difficult to operate. This technology is hands down one of the greatest tools for bloggers alike.
“The major blogging services helped make blogging a mass phenomenon by making it easy for non-technical bloggers to get up and running quickly. We believe we can do the same thing for mobile blogging,” said Keith Gerard, founder and President of mdog.com. “You can’t realize the potential of blogging when you have to go somewhere, set up a laptop and find an Internet connection before you can post or read blogs — or when you have to download an entire application to your phone before you can start. Real-time community blogging only happens when bloggers can post and read right away about things that are happening right now. That transforms the way people share information and interact with each other. Bloggers can now truly become the ’smart mob’ that analysts and futurists have talked about. That’s what the mdog.com Mobile Blogging Tool makes possible.”
Bloggers have long since been waiting the arrival for such a tool; now that it’s here, it will surely be interesting to see if they adopt and welcome it into their mobile world.

Rich – it looks like this is a web-based application, not a download like PhoneBlogz. And how could it be a better price than FREE??
