Sometimes, I wish I lived in Japan so that I could take part in the mobile revolution that is happening there.  We’re so behind in mobile, and that’s going to come back to lick us if we don’t start playing catch up (both in terms of devices and monetization strategies)… 

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.

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.
