Amfop (Another Moblog For Other People)

I saw on Joi Ito's site that Hirata-san from dh's memoranda had the same idea as mfop. It's amazing there aren't more. Maybe his is a little more stable than mine :-). (It sure has a much less error filled registration page!... But I think I win the logo category.)

I'll contact him and see if we can't get together to make both ours better. It looks like his only supports MT for now. And Paul still wants that Gallery support, so I think there's more than enough work to go around.

I was just in the process of making my own code a little less embarasing to my programming ego so I could let other people host it on their servers as well, and people can register to moblog via someone they know and trust's server. And the only reason I can think of to have it "centralized" into one system, is to have a cool page that shows the latest moblog updates (like blogrolling). But that can be accomplished other ways.

I'm thinking about the day that Fuji erupts, and when you look at the mfop page it will be filled with thousands of mobloged photos of people running in terror from all parts of Tokyo. If the moblogs had the location with it, we could all know where NOT to run to. Of course when that happens I probably wont be looking at my computer anyway.
