## What it is and how it works

The term combines “mobile” and “blog” and became popular in the mid-2000s, when early camera phones could send photos by MMS or email to specialist services that published them instantly. It was a forerunner of the instant mobile publishing that is now commonplace.

With the arrival of smartphones, blogging platform apps and, above all, social networks such as Instagram and Twitter, posting from a phone was no longer distinctive and the term fell out of use. It is kept as a historical reference in the evolution of blogging and user-generated content.
