Phone bloggers get multimedia upgrade
Ireland-based Newbay Software has updated its software, which lets people update Web logs by mobile phone, adding community messaging features, better statistics and support for the latest multimedia phones, in a bid to help increase revenues for operators, according to ZDNet.
"With FoneBlog v2, bloggers can be notified by text message, MMS, WAP or email whenever anyone posts a comment to their blog, while visitors can now ask to be notified of any updates to their favourite FoneBlog site. It's also easier for a reader to forward pictures from a FoneBlog".
"The original FoneBlog was launched in early 2003. So far it has only been deployed by O2 Ireland, but NewBay hopes to get more mobile operators onboard and recently teamed up with Verio to develop its product."
