Quality Tale - News on Technology: How Micro Blog works?

Guys, the program, "Micro-Blog" combines the capabilities of social networks (like FaceBook), cellphones, computer networks and geographic positioning capabilities, such as GPS or Wi-Fi. In dewy-eyed, people who use the "Micro-Blog" software will enter information, photos, comments, videos into their phone, where it will be 'tagged' by the user's location. All this information will then be sent to a central server, where it is available to all persons who participates in.

Mobile phones are already more than just communications devices, as most come equipped with cameras, GPS service, health monitors, and even accelerometers (devices which measure speed). "Micro-Blog" searches to take reward of this; e.g. a mobile phone fitted with an accelerometer and GPS service could also help record the speed at which the user is travelling along with location data. So, if you need to know where the traffic jams are, all you have to do is get at the "Micro-Blog" server. GPS would pin-point to phones in those areas, and the accelerometer in the phone would determine the existence movement and speed, thus showing where traffic is heaviest.

Although the latest prototype works with the Nokia N95 phone, it will finally be written for any kind of programmable phone. Still there are some resolvable brings out that need exchange between accurate geographic location and battery effectiveness. Romit Roy said, "while GPS can be accurate down to a few meters, it can also drain a battery in a few hours. On the other hand, Wi-Fi and GSM technologies are widely available and do not use as much energy , but they are not nearly as accurate. We believe that an approach blending thee technologies will probably solve that problem."
