Please go to Blognet, register, send some photos and videos from your phone, tell your friends to try it out and tell me what you think.
For the past 4 months, I've been doing pretty much nothing but working to get this social network launched. It's not quite ready yet. We're still working out most of the mobile phone features but I kind of dig how much privacy control we're giving and what we're doing with tags and other stuff. But even though there's dust on the floor and some features say "coming soon", I wanted to get it out there so that we could stop wondering how and why people might use it and really see how people will use it.
I suspect we have no idea.
The idea is basically this: we wanted to figure out a tool that allows you to take your social network with you away from your computer. We want you to be able to upload photos and videos from your phone. We want you to be able to easily keep track of your friends and what they are doing. We want you to be able to let your friends know where you are. We want there to be a central place where your friends can submit photos and videos of a particular event and we want you to be able to control who sees that stuff.
We're working really hard to make all of that a reality for our users very very soon.
So why don't you help a brotha out by getting up on blognet.
*oh, and a tip, after you sign up, check your junk mail/spam folder. We've noticed that the emails have been ending up there on occasion. I'd get that corrected now but our developers are in Ireland and they are sleeping right now.
