Google's blogging service already has a significant number of features that recommend it over the competition. Last year, Blogger teamed up with Picasa and offered users the possibility to post photograph, but as time passes, users need more and more complex functions.

Digital photography was last year's toy, for 2005, mobile communications are the key feature of all applications and services. Mobile blogs have
been announced by Google since the end of last week and allow the sending of photographs from the cell phone directly over e-mail (by sending a message to go@blogger.com) or over multimedia messaging, MMS. Google will send over the e-mail the address and access code of the recently created blog, so that the user may view and edit it.

Users have to create new mobile blogs, but moving the posted material to another existing blog shouldn't be too difficult.

From the guide page it turns out this service is only available through American cell phone operators: Verizon, AT&T, Cingular, Sprint or T-Mobile.

Yahoo and MSN have already launched moblogging functions, the first offering these services through the Yahoo 360 solution which allows users to share information, online journals, photographs or other type of multimedia content with friends and family. Yahoo was announcing from March it will provide space where Internet surfers can better communicate using functions compatible both with PCs and with cell phones.

MSN's blog version is called MSN Spaces and it was launched in December.
By including the possibility of posting blogs from the cell phone, all terminal users can become journalists and add images to their text, granting more credibility to their information.
