Moblogging has value?

Until now I have been seeing people do their "mobloging" where they post a tiny photo that we can barely see on their website and praise technology for the wonderful power that has now been bestowed upon them. I always thought they were crazy. I still do. I don't see it as having any "power" for sure no more than a regular sit-down-and-type-what-you-think personal web-site.

Despite my not seeing any special value in moblogging, I made mfop (gotta change that name!) because I saw that people have fun mobblogging. I have to admit though, I am now pretty much addicted to Carston's (who helped me test the program) life. I still get a notice everytime he uploads a photo, and I can't wait to check... because he does it so much. It is the ultimate in voyarism. I have seen web-cams before, and the problem with them is that 98% of most people's lives is boring, and there is no way to know exactly when something worthy of looking at will happen. With Carston's moblog though, he only takes a photo when it is interesting (or at least when he think's it is interesting). This means I only have to look when it's worth it, and he doesn't have to take the time to sit down and write it up, or make a note to write about it later... it feels even more candid.

I am thinking of things I can do with mfop, and this has really got me thinking... blogrolling has a page with the last updated blogs, what if mfop had a page that showd that last 100 moblog photos, with links to their owners sites of course... This sounds cool to me... I almost feel like to do that before setting up support for Blogger... but dont worry Ian, I am pragmatic and see even more value if Blogger's bloggers are involved in the "latest 100 moblogs" too.
