Sounds of silence recently on the site, but I will break it with this mention of technology in action. As a person passively fascinated with the rise of camera's on cell phones (fascinated enough to spend a few bucks to buy an attachment for my phone that I've used 5 times), it dawned on me that the most compelling reason for this invention would be to send the pictures to a collaborative website where users could rate these entries. No need to build it - it already exists: moblog
I have not actually registered for the site, so I'm no expert on its functionality. One can apparently rate these pictures, but I am unsure for what purpose since ratings appear to be my "most viewed". The plan for my site would be to suggest new pictures that one might like based on personal preferences, but perhaps everyone likes the same picture.
Btw, looking at the Most Viewed Page there are no surprises to what photos are most popular.
For friends of the site, here is a direct link to Linda Tran's page.
As always, this occurence encourages me to implement my own ideas before somebody else beats me to it. If anyone has any interesting ideas for uses of cell cameras, let me know.
