Abstract :
Weblog (usually shortened as blog) has gained its popularity lately. There are about 70,000 new blogs a day and about 29,100 blog updates an hour. As an emerging blogging phenomenon, with the proliferation of camera phones, mobile bloggers can write their blogs almost instantaneously. But how much further can current mobile blogging tools enhance the experience? In this paper, we propose a Mobilog framework to automate context-relevant annotation and synthesise personalised content for mobile blogging. In particular, we describe a system implementation of the framework, Travelog, adapted for tourism applications. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future possibilities for mobile blogging
