moblogger

From the wonderful riches of unwired comes this gem: a group called CASPIAN is exploring the idea of a moblog-powered virtual protest. The concept is simple: instead of using mobile phones to spread the word to fellow protesters to meet at a specific time and location, photo-enabled phones allow the protest itself to remain virtual. Simply create a centralized web site to collect the photos, then ask people to send in pictures of themselves protesting the issue at hand. CASPIAN, concerned about privacy issues related to RFID tags, is asking for photos of people holding up "STOP RFID" signs: the resulting photos are being collected at CASPIAN's textamerica site.
