Blog on the Run

Do you blog on your phone?

I am always on the lookout for easier ways to work blogging into my life and travel schedule. So when I heard about blogging on a mobile phone, my ears perked up.

I first became aware of mobile blogging when reviewing the Apple iPhone features.  One of the free apps that can be downloaded with the iPhone is Blog It by TypePad.  This tool allows you to write a blog post, add a picture and upload it to any blog supported by Movable Type, TypePad, Vox, LiveJournal, Blogger or Wordpress. 

I have to say I was intrigued.

And it turns out that mobile blogging isn’t unique to the iPhone.  TypePad bloggers can also blog on their Blackberry Pearl, Palm, Nokia, or any phone using Windows 5 or 6.  

And while I’m intrigued, I’m not really sure I could get used to blogging on a phone.

• The screen is small
• The keyboard is smaller – I am a one-thumb texter afterall!!!
• I also spend time researching my posts on the web before I write them and I have trouble imagining how that would work

So, it seems to me that mobile blogging would work best for shorter, more personal, almost Twitter-like posts rather than longer articles.

But – I’m curious – have you blogged on a phone? If so, how was the experience?  If not, why not?

Post a comment or drop me an email – maybe even from your phone!!
