Camera Phone Blogs Ignite Interest
In an article entitled "Camera Phone Blogs Ignite Interest ", Brad Smith for Forbes, describes how people are using their camera phones to reach a larger audience than just family and friends and about the growing popularity of moblogs.
Interesting, Smith claims one of the first mobloggers was probably Philippe Kahn, founder and CEO of LightSurf Technologies, who started posting photos from a cell phone to his website as part of a skipper's log of the Transpacific Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu.
Also of note, some good-news projections: "The Zelos Group estimates U.S. carriers will gain $10.3 million in revenue this year from the transmission of photos on their networks, with that revenue rising to $440 million in 2008, when one-third of all wireless subscribers will have a camera phone".
