Moblog comes from the combination of "mobile + weblog." It's a weblog made up of pictures taken with a camphone and uploaded from the phone directly to a weblog. A Photoblog is a weblog typically made up of a single photo posted each day.
The links included below will take you to a wide range of writings and resources on moblogs and photoblogs. Read through all of these if you can, or at least as many as possible. Then follow some of the links found on Photoblogs.org to explore a variety of photoblogs.
As a way of synthesizing this information, please pull from the articles [and not just one!] key critical insights that illuminate critically these new forms of social photography. Your paper should be a text document with citations [written or as links] mounted on your student server space but linked to in a post to New Digital Image blog. It might be nice if your blog post included the best quote you found.
