Lazyweb: Invent in-game moblogging
On the MAKE blog, Phil Torrone proposes in-game moblogging -- sharp idea.How about a Flickr uplaod button -in game-. See something cool? Hit the button, add the tags, designate it to your guild, upload. I suspect this would mean tens of thousands of accounts for a service like Flickr, but on a more macro level, people are going to start moblogging their virtual worlds just as much as the real world, why not use Flickr.Link
Update: BuhBuhCuh sez, "a user of the MMO Second Life has already created just this. Players are already using it to document their own narritive and explorations throughout the virtual world. All they need to do is use SL's 'Postcard' feature to email Snapzilla a screenshot with a title and a comment."
Update 2: Andrew sez, "SixApart employee (and blog innovator) Mark Paschal had this running since last August over at TypePad."
