Instead of mobile blogs getting lewd images, why don’t they do something like this. This could have been more useful and will even get positive feedback that is if they filter out images that are of pornographic in nature.
Aside from that, this may encourage the users of the responsible use of their camera phones.
This is what Cell Journalist is about:
Cell Journalist is an innovative service that lets you get paid for your pix. We are looking for all news related images, from hurricanes and car crashes to celebrity sightings. Breaking news happens everyday, you can make sure you are ready with your camera phone or digital camera ready!
Once we receive your images, media outlets can then browse through our image/video gallery. Images can be used in all types of stories and television broadcasts. Everytime your image is used you get paid. A really great photo can be used several dozen times. Our service is unique because we offer a subscription to the media outlets. This allows them to use as many images as they want for one monthly fee. In the end this means that you, the Cell Journalist, has a much greater chance of having your image used and getting paid.
Signing up is quick and easy. You never know when breaking news will happen, so become a Cell Journalist today!

Karla,
We’re actually doing a similar project for Sun.Star Cebu, the newspaper I work for. It’s part of our citizen journalists project, which has a blog component. Anyway, here’s the post on how our readers can become citizen journalists: http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/cj/?p=32

Nice! Honga, better ganireng MMS usage kesa yung kalokohang ginagawa dun sa kabilang telco MMS blog.
Goodluck, Max, in your Citizen journalists project. Update mo naman kami.

Wild idea folks: automated election system using open source software with cryptographic security, biometrics and other cheatproof design features…involving WWW + cell phone network…must cost P1B or less. I’m sure we’ve all thought about something like this. But may Pinoy Tech Blog could host a forum or design group or something…must produce final tally within 24 hours or better yet in near-real time of the tally.
What would it really take, tech-wise to secure the only real power the people have?
Hi Max, 🙂
that’s very nice to hear
the citizen journalists project is a noteworthy one
hi ka edong 🙂
definitely the use of MMS in this manner is a whole lot better
Rizalist,
that’s a really wild idea.. but hey.. that is really cheatproof.. who could cheat biometrics anyways? hehehe
But the tallies must be near-real time.. that is to avoid manual editing of the database 😉
Just love taking voyeur shots using my digicam.
Wow, nifty idea. Hope someone comes up with something similar here.
hi tania
nifty idea indeed 🙂
they could even do tie-ups as well 🙂
