PhoneBlog Update [WebTech]
A couple of observers (Dave Winer [via Sean] and Alan Williamson in the Yahoo group for this blog) have commented things along the lines of "no, no, don't do it that way, connect the phone to the blog software and give people choice". What this doesn't take into account is that Newbay are providing a service for telephone companies to add as a feature for their users, not a hack for the blogerati. Consequently, it has to work with the click of a check-box at the telco's call centre and it has to use existing phone capabilities like MMS or MIDP. Yes, the facilities at Blog City are cool, no doubt (good work, Alan!), and yes, a web service API is the right way to go and yes, that's where the OMA will be taking phone standards in years to come. But FoneBlog is a service designed to help telcos pay off their 3G debt in 2003...
