Mobile blogging is a total arse

Daniel’s been taking a look at mobile blogging — that is, blogging via your handset — and found nearly every offering to be substandard or in many cases, non existing. Most services rely on you using an email gateway — i.e. you email from your Blackberry or handset, that email is then converted into a blog post. I used this regularly when I was with Typepad.

What I really want is a symbian native wordpress client. Then I’ll be happy. Or a Blackberry wordpress client. Or a WINDOWS wordpress client. ANYTHING. I tried offering paying people to make some software for me but alas, no one wanted to know.

You can of course easily microblog with Twitter, Jaiku and the rest… Gahhh.

What’s your experience of mobile blogging?

So I’ve been doing some research on mobile blogging, trying to find the best solutions out there. The situation is pretty dire. So far, it looks like the best solution out there is actually from Windows Live (née MSN) Spaces. Windows Live actually lets you register, create a blog and start publishing it all through the mobile browser.
