So how long till a wood cladded mobile phone! ;)

Camera Tossing Phenomenon

moblog @ BusyThumbs — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 18:01:24 +0000

A new craze has hit the digital photography world - Camera Tossing. This is the 'art' of throwing your digicam in the air while it's taking pictures in order to get some beautifully abstract shots. The best photos are being blogged at blogspot.com from a dedicated camera toss tag at flickr.
They make excellent backgrounds for your PC ;)

Face Recognition Blogging

moblog @ BusyThumbs — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 21:22:47 +0000

Yep, you read the title correctly - a blog which has face recognition technology! The site behind it is Riya.com which automatically tags people's faces within your blog. So if you wanted to find all instances of little Jonny in your blog, once you've selected a sample of his face, the search engine will run off finding him throughout your blogs. Pretty clever stuff!

It's currently on Invite-Only Alpha status, but if anyone's feeling generous we'd love to test it out.

Google Start Playing with Video Blogging

moblog @ BusyThumbs — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 23:14:02 +0000

The BBC is reporting that google are playing with Video Blogging. "Larry Page told a conference in San Francisco that the company will be archiving peoples video clips, starting in the next few days". This is an unusual move by google to be so honest about 'vlogging' which is a natural progression from moblogging whereby video clips are uploaded for people to watch.

Moblogging is ideal for exisiting mobile infastructures as the pictures are easily uploaded to a service provider who embeds them into a blog outline. With video blogging, 3G services do provide the bandwidth to send the videos, but coverage is scattered and data is still costly.

Google admits that they are unsure where this exercise will go, what content they will recieve when they open their services up and the service that they will sculpt out of it but at least this is showing that they are still trying new things with the focus on user functionality.
