Mobile Blogging Evolves?
It’s here. The WordPress app for iPhone made it to the app store overnight, and at this moment, I imagine thousands of bloggers (real and wannabe, such as yours truly) are preparing their first posts using the app.
I’m going to go out in a limb here and predict that the majority of those posts will be reviews of this very app.
Of course, it has been possible, and even convenient to blog from the iPhone and other mobile devices since the beginning. But does this new application change the landscape drastically?
My guess is, just a little. I can’t see typing a long post out at 20 wpm on the iPhone. But, the clean, usable interface makes it easy to fire off quick posts while out and about, update blogs with breaking news, or even start a post to finish later.
Of course, it only works on iPhone, so there is that. But between the WordPress and Typepad apps, the iPhone is quickly becoming a powerful mobile publishing tool as well as gaming and productivity platform.
I don’t forsee posting from this platform frequently, but time will tell. It is nice to have the option, and my first impression is that the option is nice.
