The river behind our new offices


This is a pic taken on my Nokia 6600 of the river (ok, canal) that flows past our new offices at the Pump House at Albion Spring in Newlands / Rondebosch.

I first snapped the pic and uploaded it using PicoStation's software on my phone and then Moblogged it to my experimental Moblog on PicoStation.com - I'm stunned - it all worked first time and was so easy. Did I mention free too? Nokia should licence this software and install it as default on their Series 6 phones.

I can see a time when every mobile phone user becomes a micro-journalist and the news networks will have a massively distributed news and image gathering network of ordinary citizens. From all accounts the BBC was using this with the recent bombings in London. Dozens of mobile phone images and video clips were taken and sent to the BBC for broadcasting.
