Rabble to Offer Blogging by Mobile Phone

Posted on April 1, 2005

The Mercury New reports that a company named Intercasting is offering a service called Rabble, which will give people the ability to blog with a mobile phone. Rabble will also let people post digital photos immediately to a weblog. Rabble will also offer social networking tools. However, Rabble will not be competitor-free for very long. Yankee Group analyst Su Li Walker told the Mercury News that Rabble will soon have competition from companies like Yahoo, which he expects will offer wireless blogging tools. Walker told the Mercury New about the future of blogging tools:

"Wherever you are, you can stop and take a picture, you can blog. It's the convergence of all the devices,'' said Walker. ``Blogging presents another platform where they're all meeting. You have the PC, and you've got your phone. Different tools you can use online that you can use anywhere you are."
