Following the – iTunes for your Mobile Phone – craze from the last weeks/months/year, I found back a post on the W2Forum I wrote in December 2004 on – podcasting on a mobile phone.

I was not the one who invented the term but I remember Google then had something like 38 entries with the term “mobcasting”. You should check this term now!

Checking Wikipedia on mobcasting, I got this: “Mobcasting is a term coined by Andy Carvin of the Digital Divide Network in January 2005…”

Reading Andy’s original mobcasting post I understood he actually created the 1st mobcast somwhere in January 2005. But the term was coined before, that needs to be corrected one day (by the one who did so?) in Wikipedia. Meanwhile Andy created also http://mobcasting.blogspot.com to keep his experiments in mobile podcasting going.

I just like the idea of technology serving people… more ‘voices’ become now in reach of many; the more diversification, the better for democracy!
