Rafe Needleman on “Webware” writes about a wireless multimedia “micro” blogging company, Utterz (see below), that has some interesting capabilities for combining media into one weblog post without sending everything in one e-mail.
As Needleman writes, there are a variety of wireless blogging services, such as 3Guppies and Twango. However, he says, “Utterz' special power is the way it takes media from your mobile and intelligently combines it as it sends it to the platform.
“Also, you don't need a mobile Web browser to publish on the Utterz platform. For example, if you send a cameraphone image via MMS into the system, and then a few minutes later dial the Utterz number and speak a message, those two items will, by default, get combined into one post, presumably because you're most likely describing the photo you just took.”
Transmitting data via widget or e-mail
Information — text, photos, videos — may be sent via a widget or via e-mail to a variety of well known blogging services, such as TypePad (the one I use), WordPress and Blogger (see below).
Needleman says he likes the application “as a conduit for getting audio/video media from a mobile phone to a blog or social network page. Utterz also has a social network of its own: Like Twitter and other nanoblog systems, you can set up a group of friends on the site, then track the posts from your friends.”
It looks like an interesting app. I haven’t tried it. I need to.
