A Nation Gone Hiptop
from the wireless-blogging dept
It's always interesting to see how users rally around new products and how they express their love of a product. The Danger Hiptop was probably one of the most eagerly anticipated gadgets of the past year. And now that it's out, people are finding that it's great for wireless web, email and IM. They are even making use of the dinky little camera and creating communal blogs that let users post text and pictures directly from their devices. Right now the site is just a bunch of early-adopters showing off their new toy. But it could be the start of a new form of blogging. To date blogs have been about sharing your deepest thoughts, take on current events or links to interesting web sites. But wireless blogging let's bloggers capture a moment and share it immediately.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
