Are mobile phones accelerating the death of the blog? An interesting post from Stowe Boyd during May has started me thinking that the short form immediacy of communication that a smartphone is perfect for is, in part, contributing to the fading away of the humble blog.
Read on in the full article.
Hey all,
I would not agree with this, I write a tech blog and I have a mobile application for the blog published on Nokia's Ovi store at http://irelandstechnologyblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/irelands-technology-blog-mobile_11.html
So readers can keep up to date will on the go from their phones.
Well Wordpress has mobile clients which include push notifications on the right devices so nothing about blogging can't be apapted for mobile.
Having said that, I read the figures about > 90% of any blogs that are started haven't been accessed by their owner for over 18 months, a similar statistic for twitter accounts. Which basically said that blogging and twittering are a minority pastime, not for everyone.
I think it's more to do with the networks than the format to be honest. I've kept a blog updated solely from my mobile for over three years and, while some entries come in at a hundred words or so, there are a lot of huge articles on there. The problem is that I've lost quite a few things thanks to the UK networks just not uploading the post when I'm publishing it, or cutting parts out because they can't handle the data being sent (yet streaming video is no problem for them). Sure, I write up my posts before I publish them now, and have them saved in case of errors like that, but it's frustrating to go through nontheless. I can see people moving towards smaller opinion sharing formats because there's less risk - when you lose 140 characters that you spent thirty seconds on, it's less annoying than losing 15,000 characters that you've spent two hours on.
I can see sites like this and a few others turning into content streams that people mix into their own streams of information. Might it be beneficial even for the idea kf a website to turn into a contact that has an rss field and a means to mix that content to others wihtout even getting into a browser at all.
