Mobile Affiliate and RSS Marketing have launched a new mobile based blog service. (click for Japanese article). The service is called “PockeBlo” (http://p269.mobi only available from mobile phone) and was launched on Aug 3, 2007.
RSS Marketing will be in charge of system development and management while Mobile Affiliate will take charge of advertisement sales and liaison with the affiliate networks. There are already 1600 registered users. PockeBlo will allow registered users to create and email updates to their mobile blog. Photos can also be emailed to blog entries. Users can choose from a variety of blog templates and backgrounds and can communicate with other blog writers within the system. Since Mobile Affiliate is an affiliate network provider, I am guessing that the blog service will be integrated with their affiliate tracking system to allow bloggers to earn revenue from their blog. It’s still not clear if affiliate ads will be limited to those offered on the Mobile Affiliate Network or if bloggers will be allowed to place ads from competing networks.
