Moblog, the UK based mobile blogging community and technology provider, has announced a major upgrade to its platform, simplifying sign-up and enhancing mobile web features for its users, as well as re-branding the service from moblog:UK to Moblog.
"We have focused on making blogging from a mobile device simpler than ever through new features, and through our partners such as Spinvox and Shozu. The release of our community site adapted for the mobile web means blogging and participating on the move has never been easier or more feature rich." said Alfie Dennen, co-founder of the company.
With the mobile web reaching critical mass mobile blogging is ready to go mainstream. Consumers can join group moblogs or create their own mobile blogs in seconds, simply by sending an SMS or MMS, or by calling a dedicated SpinVox number in the UK, USA, France, Germany, and Spain. SpinVox converts your message to text and posts it along with the original audio directly to your own moblog.
"We're very happy to be an integral partner of Moblog" said Mark Harris, Value Added Services Director, SpinVox. "At SpinVox we treat digitalised voice content very seriously and believe that the ability to capture moments in speech, convert them to text and post up to a blog is great news for bloggers."
As well as new posting methods (SMS/voice/browser upload), Moblog has created new features such as Groups (MMS/SMS keyword posting), integrated maps for every user and a domains facility giving every subscriber the ability to run their moblog from a URL of their choice, for example: The Stopped Clocks Foundation, a charity which catalogues and helps restore stopped public clocks in the UK, uses a Moblog group to power both their web and mobile site.
