MOPORT: The Republican National Convention

Moport.org, a new mobile phone reporting tool, will allow anyone with a camera phone or a digital camera to cover the protesters and thereby provide an alternative view of the events.  The free service will allow people to report collectively about important events in real-time using mobile phones. [ via Gotham Gazette ]

In their own words:

The RNC in New York City will be the inaugural MOPORT event. 15,000 media representatives will be covering the convention, but we don't think they can necessarily handle the job--especially with 250,000 protesters, 10,000 police officers and 5,000 delegates in attendance.
