Cell Journalism & Mobile Blogging Tools

Cell Journalism & Mobile Blogging

Most of us reading this post can remember the days when cell phones did not exist. A time of being "disconnected" and essentially "unreachable" to the world at large. Those days are long over and if there is one detail in specific which ties both hyperlocal blogging and citizen journalism together it is the fact that the future will be highly mobile. From citizen’s ability to create cell journalism to powerful mobile apps individuals can now manage life remotely and we can only expect more to come.

Currently the International Telecommunication Union estimates that there are more than 4.6 billion cell phones in use around the world and growing. The real question at hand is: How can cell phones will begin to bring access and democratic media to the world at large? For many third world countries cell phones offer one of the first ways in which people will be given access to online media and networking.

Cell phones have already played a vital role in allowing people to stay connected and share their messages with the world. From the 2009 Uprisings in Iran to the hanging of Saddam Hussein.
