Comment

Hmmm, another great innovation from a major company: you can see why they lobby so hard for those software patents they need to protect their creative investment ...

Ericcson, for example, have offered a service call moblog for ages, as have Libero (an Italian ISP linked to Wind, a mobile telephony provider).

30 seconds reserch on Google would also have revealed a history of the term:
