Blogs are obsolete! Welcome to ad-hoc content publishing anytime, anywhere!

Blogs are the de-facto method of publishing commentary on contemporary events. In recent times however, it is becoming clear that blog entries may be too time-consuming, and not frequent enough to keep content fresh, up-to date and spontaneous.

Increasingly, we are all beginning to use services such as tumblr, twitter and istalkr that enable content publishers to write and publish ideas as they come to mind (snippets of information) without having to wait to write an entire blog entry. In addition to this, it is also possible to write and post this information from mobile devices (phones, PDAs etc). This has increased the spontaneity, and ad-hoc nature of these methods of publishing and sharing information and opinion.

This posting is a clear manifestation of the new possibilities and trends - I have composed this article on my Nokia e62 mobile phone and emailed it to this Drupal powered website for automated processing and posting using the Mailhandler module.
