WaveBlog: now we're talking mobile reporting

Remember all the talk about geo-positioning your blog entries, photoblogging with added EXIF information (like Mie did at Tokyo Tidbits)? Now it is all coming together. Location based blogging is becoming a reality. Enter WaveBlog.

The location information is the hard part, and the piece of the puzzle my company fills in. First, you can use the J2ME app (called Wavespotter) to locate a position on a map with crosshairs for a one-click post to your weblog, or in the coming months we're going to be announcing deals with American and international carriers who will provide the location information on the back end which will geo-tag email and web posts automagically. I've also added a geo-encoding form to the site as well, so at the worst case you can just enter the address information and it'll look up the location info for you.

This is so cool. Adam Greenfield talked about the 3P of moblogging six months ago at the 1imc, the first international moblogging conference:

Adam Greenfield defines what to him is the defining aspects of moblogging: the intersection of people, place and information. Hey, make it 3P instead: People, Places, Postings. ;)

When people can start tagging the world with information for everyone to read as they pass by, what will happen? A group blog on every street corner, a guest-book in every restaurant for all to post and read...
