Tools for On-the-Go Blogging

Mobile news and blogging is becoming more and more popular. Here are some tips on how to succeed with coverage and posting to a blog while on the go. Smart Phones are becoming a powerful device to do this on.

1. If your going to try and record video for a blog on the go I sugguest a video camera application. Whether this is recorded directly to the device or streaming to a service like Ustream. This is very important if you are doing live coverage or reporting news events.

2. A key feature to mobile blogging is having an application to write or record notes. Evernote is a great solution for syncing notes between your mobile phone and computer. You could also have the option to record a voice note if you prefer that way of note taking.

3. While blogging on the go, you will need a mobile phone, tablet, or netbook. Having those it is important to have a strong connection. I recommend getting a mobile plan on your phone or an EVDO modem such as the Mifi.

4. This tool requires your blog’s software. This blog is running WordPress, I would suggest downloading their app for mobile blogging on your SmartPhone.

5. Finally, I would recommend Google Apps for their fabulous apps on mobile devices. This includes: email, documents, calendar, and more! Google Apps helps people keep in touch with you and what your up to. It also keeps your day on track and productive.
