Mobile Web, Web 2.0, Web 3.0 ?
are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards. I am a big fan of microformats and you can find them frequently in this blog. Before I write about what microformats mean to mobile, let me briefly explain, for those who are not familiar with them, what the buzz is all about and why you should use them…
What the heck? Why do we need microformats?
It might not seem so on the first glance, but computers are incredibly stupid, even though they can do impressive things like adding up all the data in your huge Excel file within a blink of an eye. However, those machines can only understand us if we provide them with exactly the input and commands they are expecting..
..
How do microformats help?
Microformats are a forerunner of the Semantic Web, which some folks even call Web 3.0. The problem with the “real” Semantic Web is that the new standards are complicated and it takes lots of time and brainpower to use them. We still have to wait some years for the Semantic Web to happen, as this will be a major version change of the web. If we will switch to it at all..

ReadWriteWeb seems to have created quite a furor in publicizing the views of start-up entrepreneur Russell Beattie.
The former Yahoo! Mobile evangelist announced today that he’s calling it quits for his company Mowser because the market for mobile browsing is taking a fast turn for the worse..
Many others disagree. Greg Sterling proclaims The ‘Mobile Web’ Is Dead, Long Live the Mobile Internet.
The iPhone and its clones, mobile usability improvements from search engines/portals and pure-play mobile companies, together with flat-rate pricing will drive mobile Internet adoption. Time is the “X-variable.” But it will happen. I guarantee it.

Make Money from Website, Mobile Web, Sound and speech
Most websites need financial support if they are to provide services to website visitors. That is particularly tough for cell phones, which access the mobile web, since small screens do not leave much room for advertising. If you feel that a major slice of mobile Web activity will be via sound technology, then there is an additional challenge. Who wants to wait patiently listening through a sound advertisement until they get to the information they were seeking?

When considering a Civil Society Election Blog for Nigeria, we realized fairly quickly that it has to be possible for people to contribute to it via their mobile phones. Post via the web and e-mail, yes, but also somehow via phone.

The release of the iPhone in recent months and the release of it’s baby, the iPhone without a phone, crazed apple fans and even non-believers of Apple. Here we have something that’s really powerful compared to other available phones..
However, there were also curious developers who asked Apple what would be the next generation of platform for the new program that will run on their phones. Apple timidly answered, “Ajax is the development platform”.
..
We already have seen the power of Ajax on our computers and we can’t seem to get enough out of it. With Ajax, we experienced better interaction with our computer. Ajax tries to predict our thinking and of course it will reduce the need to have a higher internet connection since the power will be PC based. That notion is perfect for the mobile technology since it will eliminate the need of having a stronger internet connection..

What are Photoblogs and MoBlogs?
Whilst a photoblog can be a Moblog (and visa versa) they are not neccessarily one in the same thing. Lets looks to a couple of definitions from the ‘experts’.
‘A photoblog is a type of blog that is regularly updated with photos. Some photoblogs focus only on photography, while others have photos in addition to other content..
‘Moblogging is a blanket term that covers a variety of related practices. At its simplest, moblogging (from “mobile web logging”) is merely the use of a phone or other mobile device to publish content to the World Wide Web, whether that content be text, images, media files, or some combination of the above.’Source - First International Moblogging Conference (yes there is an international moblog conference!)
