Moblog is a contraction of mobile and weblog. A mobile weblog, or moblog, consists of content posted to the Internet from a mobile device, such as a cellular phone or PDA.
Much of the earliest development of moblogs occured in Japan, among the first countries in the world to have mobile phones with built-in cameras.
According to Joi Ito's History of Moblogs, the first post to the web was from Steve Mann in 1995. He used a wearable computer, a more elaborate predecessor to modern moblogging devices. The first post to the Internet from a mobile device was by Stuart Woodward, in January 2001; the term "moblogging" itself was coined by Adam Greenfield to describe the practice in 2002.
