Alfie of moblog.co.uk comments on recent MMS survey

Gah I should have asked Alfie’s opinion earlier seeing as he is running www.moblog.co.uk! 

Alfie has posted a comment to the article I published recently commenting on In-Stat’s recent MMS survey, reporting less than a third of cameraphone owners bothered using MMS.  Apart from price (obviously a key issue), Alfie comments:

People need to be educated that getting your phones content online and into a moblog site is the best, fastest, and most effective way to save and share the content generated on your phone.

Now this isn’t an advert for www.moblog.co.uk — what he’s saying is very true.  If you ask a teenager or a young’un about their cameraphone usage, they invariably think it’s good for taking pictures to store ON their phone.  The idea of sending them anywhere — not least to their friends — is quite foreign.  The idea of sending pictures to a moblog even more so.

I’m going to see if I can get 5 minutes of Alfie’s time to get him to comment on what Hutchinson / Three are doing here in the UK.  They’ve offer a free moblog to each of their subscribers (well, you have to pay for the MMS). I’ve used it. You just whack your picture to shortcode "3333" and it wraps the image to your three moblog.

More on this to come!
