Time: About phonecams, and what attracts users

Time Online Edition has this brief entry on phonecams and what you can do with them.

Much like myself, what fascinates people is the sense of immediacy and that you always have your phone with you ready to send a picture to the web for friends and family to see.

(I like the analogy to lomography. Setting all rules of photography aside and just see what sticks to the film...)

"It is too soon to tell if phone blogging will be more than a passing fad, but the early buzz has prompted AT&T Wireless and Sprint PCS to offer password-protected online photo albums for up to $15 a month to customers with phone cams. Other services, such as Textamerica.com, let people create public phone-cam blogs for free. Posting pictures is as easy as sending an e-mail. On some phone-cam blogs, you can also add a few lines of text or an audio clip and invite others to comment."
