Covering social news and Web 2.0

Hi!  Nice Moblog.  I noticed the article on writing about social news...are you going to have a social news section?  I'm always looking for good info on that.

I'm glad you like it.

Instead of sections, Blogger offers labels, which are more flexible. I already have defined a tag for 'social news'. Just click on the label to view them all!

I'd like to welcome you to this blog as a co-author, and I'm looking forward to receiving more posts from you!

What's a moblog, anyway?

According to Wikipedia:

Moblog is a blend of the words mobile and weblog. A mobile weblog, or Moblog, consists of content posted to the Internet from a mobile or portable device, such as a cellular phone or PDA. Moblogs generally involve technology which allows publishing from a mobile device.

Missing blog post header or labels?

If you see a blog post without a header or keyword labels, it's because you are seeing a post that is still "under construction." In other words, the header and labels haven't been attached yet.

I submit some of my posts directly to this blog by instant messaging from my cellular phone. This is called "moblogging" and it lets me post content almost immediately.

These posts will have the posting time and date. However, they won't have headers or labels (a/k/a "tags") until I edit each post to fill in the headers and select the labels.

And yes, I even use Blogger to do some of the editing directly from the cellphone. For short blog posts, I have just enough memory in the phone if I reload the browser before I begin.
