The Danish site albinogorilla.dk lets you set up blogs you update from your phone – and claims to be the first service to allow not only text and images but also video, from your phone, of course. Can’t find a blog with video yet, though.
I'm Jill Walker Rettberg, author and professor of Digital Culture at the University of Bergen in Norway. I co-direct the Center for Digital Narrative, a 10-year Norwegian Centre of Research Excellence, and I lead the ERC project Machine Vision in Everyday Life. This site started as my blog in October 2000.

“claims to be the first service to allow not only text and images but also video”
That’s quite a claim. 🙂
I’ll use the opportunity to promote one of my favourite bloggers, Mie Kennedy. I haven’t seen video in her current http://www.kokochi.com/ yet, but there used to be video at http://tokyotidbits.com/

Oh, I think they meant the first service to allow users to easily upload video from a mobile phone – I agree, it’s quite a claim, but perhaps in this limited sense they’re right? It’s obvious that there’s been video in blogs before.

Hi Jill,
I agree, it is quite a claim, and we’re pretty baffled that we were first, since the technology is very simple. I believe it is only a matter of time before we see a load of other moblog services offer this too.
If you want a look at a video post, you can have a peek at my partner in crime, Tony, introduce the new video capabilities 😉 http://www.albinogorilla.dk/test/447
