Cell phones: A new tool in the war-zone blogosphere
Pundits and political junkies may have put blogs on the map. But now individuals all over the planet are using new blogging tools to share gritty, uncensored information.
"If you see a car bomb blast, your first thought is not to go to an Internet cafe and start blogging," said digital media expert Erik Sundelof.
But almost everywhere in the world, cell phones are available, with the ability to send text, photos, even video of such events instantly, he said.
Sundelof is the creator of "Lebanon-Israel Conflict Via Cell Phones," a blog that is different from the tens of thousands of web logs sharing facts, opinions, pictures and often unfettered anger about events in the Middle East and elsewhere.
