Mobile blogging is an exciting phenomenon that is sweeping the blogosphere. One of the reasons why a lot
of bloggers are attracted to the medium of blogging in the first place is that they enjoy being able to make
frequent updates and posts that keep all of their visitors up to speed with current situations. Mobile blogs, or "moblogs," take this to the extreme by allowing users to post things literally as they happen. This new wave of moblogs and mobloggers keep web surfers up to date with good and bad events of importance as they occur all over the world, helping to make international communication faster and more accurate.

Many people feel that the limitations of blogging have a lot to do with geography. After all, there is only so
current that a blog can be when you need to run home and boot up in order to update it. However, mobile blogging marks the beginning of an thrilling new era when web-based communication can happen spontaneously from any location. Moblogging devices mean that there is almost nowhere on the planet that remains off-limits for bloggers.

Mobile blogging is still in its infancy because the technology that makes it possible has only recently hit
the global market. The first moblog technology became available over a decade ago, but it is only the past two
or three years that mobile web devices have become user-friendly enough to appeal to most consumers. As
camera phones and other mobile technology become more popular, more and more bloggers are getting away
from their desks and are hitting the streets. Moblogging is becoming much more widespread that it was even a
few months ago, and mobloggers are quickly attracting a lot of attention with the blogging community. It is not
yet clear whether moblogs will become the dominant kinds of blogs in the years to come, but the current
trend seems to imply that moblogs are here to stay.

Mobile devices make it possible to blog from the sites where current events are unfolding, which is one of the
reasons why mobile blogging has so much thrilling potential to revolutionize the blogosphere. A moblogger
with a camera phone can post blog entries from, say, the foot of the podium at a presidential speech, or from the
stands during the final moments of the world series. This enables bloggers to experience the same real time
thrills that live television coverage provides, but in a more democratic medium. The combination of mobility
and individual control that moblogging provides certainly places mobloggers on the cutting edge of
today's communications technology, and it is hard to imagine that the number and prestige of moblogs will
not continue to grow in the coming years.

... so I was chatting with someone about goals and values and everyday life. And I remarked that when a person determines each day that they are going to be a success, they already are. I don't think we should wait until we accumulate a certain amount of wealth or acclaim from society to realize this. There are people all around us that lead tremendously successful lives and that will never appear on the radar screen of the media. People with poise and talent and grit and determination and imagination and love and sincerity and hope. I look for these people everyday. And generally, I can find them without too much difficulty. And I'm sure that you can, too.

April is Autism Awareness Month.

I want to share with you an interview with a highly successful person, Nathan ... and his mother. Sharron Williams tells the story of her life with her autistic son and the organization that she founded called, InfoPAC. She joined me as a special guest on The Sparkle Club talk radio program. It changed my life.

Please listen.

... so today I received another email message from someone that I don't know. Apparently, she is my "friend" on a social media network that I've joined. Hmm ...

So, I clicked on the link in the email and it took me to this community of friends. I didn't remember my login information. So I asked the system to send me the link to reset my password and gain access to my profile page. I clicked on a couple of pictures and voila! There was an entire group of "friends" that I had never met. Hmm ...

So, I started visiting the pages and writing my comments here and there. I don't try to sell them anything or ask them to join my other groups. Just a quick "hi" or "let me know what I can do to help you today" to 4 or 5 people each day. And guess what?

I'm actually making "real" friends out of these "virtual" friends.

Here's proof:

I asked a few new friends to help me to celebrate National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day by sharing more about themselves and their favorite sandwiches. Yeah, it's a real holiday. I wanted to tell people about my new friends the next time when I hosted my show The Recipe Box on BlogTalkRadio. I figured they would either think it was a fun idea or that I'm some kind of nut.

Check out the show ~ Barbara Howard Celebrate's National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day.
