Audio Moblog

This is an example of what one can do with mobile blogging, also know as "moblogging" -- through a service like Hipcast one can call a phone number, type in a PIN, record an audio message, and have that message assigned and posted to your blog.

This could be useful if one found themselves at the scene of a newsworthy event and felt like being a citizen journalist. One's audio messages from the front lines could be heard by anyone on the internet within seconds of being recorded.

This is a podcast.  The difference between a podcast and an audio blog is that with podcasts, media files are delivered to the subscriber, whereas with an audio blog the media lives within the blog.
