Rabble Is Coming
Posted by Stowe Boyd
Arieanna posed the question When will mobile blogging catch up with blogging?, and mentions Rabble from Intercasting, which looks to be a fascinating mobblogging platform.
Full disclosure, though: I am doing a Rabble channel for the folks at Intercasting.
I posted a piece there -- not using a mobile device -- called "Social Media: It's Messy (and that's Good)." And I can't wait for the phone they are going to send, so I can add some mobile content. It's cool to be sharing the space with Peter Gabriel's Witness project, various rock magazines, and singer/songwriter Aslyns. I have 577 fans already!

Yeah, I saw your profile over at Rabble. I think it's a great platform and can't wait to try it out myself.

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, being able to feed data (text, pictures, video, anything) from a mobile device to somwhere on the net. But...
Permalink to CommentThe main problem for me is cost. I would have to get a new phone, $200-$300, and I would have to pay for data access on top of my cellphone plan, about $90/month.
Say I'm willing to pay over $1000/year for this. Why do I have to publish to a Rabble channel? I already have a channel on the web, my blog. I want to be able to publish all this data directly to my blog or process it in any way I choose.
What we really need are open protocols and standards for this to work. Why not open Rabble and let people add channels anywhere they want?

Ianiv,
We couldn't agree with you more. We created Rabble to allow bi-directional publishing from the various APIs of the existing blogging sites and we are doing custom integration with photo hosting sites, event sites, etc. We aim to allow consumers to have a mobile tool that allows them to extend the content creation and consumption out to the mobile device. This isn't send an SMS to update your blog, its a thick client that allows you to update and view content on the handset.
