Vodablog.com - Vodafone's Blog Server
Vodafone seems to have launched a moblogging service at: Vodablog.com ! Currently its free and according to the site:
"Vodablog is a demonstration service for Vodafone-Microsoft Mobile Web Services Contest. You can send SMS to 2385 and your post will appear on your blog.You can also get notified by SMS when your favorite blogs are updated."
Seems like they are just trying it out. From the details here, it seems to be a quick (14 month) hack on a MS Windows 2003 Server. Its says:
"
* The underlying software architecture is developed in 14 months.
* It is the most innovative and the only mobile blogging service that is built on Microsoft .NET Technologies.
* It embodies a state-of-the art scalable software platform that leverages "Static-File-Creation-Technology", that is, blogs are re-generated as static html files each time blog is updated. This scalable methodology is only used in Vodablog and Blogger(Google's desktop blooging company) in the world.
* Vodablog developed the first/only innovative features such as blog notifications, converting any content to MMS format and sending application-to-mobile MMS Messages.
* Vodablog is the only blogging service solution that leverages XML Web Services.
* Vodablog is the only blogging service that supports OMA Digital Rights Management Specifications "
Regarding it being the 'only mobile blogging service that is built on Microsoft .NET Technologies' - now is that a good thing or a bad thing ? ;-)
I am interested in noting that they try to scale using "Static-File-Creation-Technology", much like Movable type.
