First International
Moblogging Conference

Saturday, 5 July 2003 in Tokyo, Japan.

And we're live! Join the Conference blog in progress at http://www.marginwalker.org/imcblog.php

We are pleased to invite you to the First International Moblogging
Conference. 1imc is the world's first event dedicated to the
theory and experience of mobile Web publishing, with sessions focused
on both technical and social aspects of this exploding practice.

If you're involved in mobile publishing, "personal media" or ways of sharing
location-specific information, we want to hear about your work. You'll
get a chance to highlight your site, device, service or other initiative
in front of a highly motivated, energetic and influential audience.

1imc attendees redefine "early adopter": these are the people who
were moblogging before they knew it had a name, and it's their contributions,
insights and decisions that will influence this practice for some time
yet to come. Don't you want them to know about your work?

Online registration for the Conference is now closed. Day-of-event registration at ¥3000 is still available.

What is Moblogging?

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.

Location-specific content goes one step further - it relates and connects to the specific
physical place where it was created and published.
This permits any particular set of real-world coordinated to be "tagged" with
relevant information, from instant restaurant reviews to ski-slope hazard
warnings to contextual jokes.

Moblogging Resources

www.moblogging.org is a good starting point if you want to find existing moblogs and articles written on the subject.
Joi Ito's moblog is one of the longest-running and his site also hosts a comprehensive set of resources.
