MOBLOGS: Are blog entries that are updated from a cell phone or other mobile device and then published onto a blog. Today this doesn’t sound like anything new because everyone does it. Taking pictures at social events like a concert a hockey game a party or on vacation and sending those pictures via cell phone to your blog where you can still be socially connected with friends and family back home. It is also useful for tourists because you have easy access to cell phone where you can send pictures to your blog or even to fellow employers for business purposes. http://www.micropersuasion.com/2004/09/pr_threats_and_.html This link provides some of the the advantages/disadvantages of Moblogging.
PHOTOBLOGS: Stepping away from the general flickr and facebook photoblogs I stumbled on a site called photobucket. The site has billions of images that individuals can comment on as well as Moblog. Photoblogs are an easy way to share photos with others and generate feedback on what was funny, bad, good etc about it. This can work for not only potential photographers that want feedback but also in the business world. Businesses can use photoblogs to gain public opinion on what they think of the photo or how they might interpret it’s meanings. This can be useful to marketers because it lets them know first hand what works and does not work. www.photobucket.com
VIDEOBLOGS: The most common videoblogs I can think of are you-tube videos. You tube allows anyone to showcase their opinions, talents, concerns etc. The majority of the time it sounds like a bunch of nonsense that is not relevant but a lot of people find similar interests in what others say through videoblogs and can further observe their favourites and past videoblogs.
AUDIOBLOGS: To me audioblogs remind me of the radio, because just like a radio we listen to it with no imagery and as individuals we can also call in and give our feedback on songs, saying it was good or bad so that radio stations know what will attract majority of target market.
Hey Tracy, your blog is pretty cool, you definitely explain what you found really well. I like that it is to the point and not boring to read.
I agree with you, audioblogs reminds me of the radio as well.
