Zannel blogging and micro-blogging at the Democratic National Convention
For the first time ever, grassroots bloggers will be broadcasting video, pictures and text updates straight from the floor of the Democratic National Convention using their mobile phones and Zannel, the instant media network that is used by millions of people for lifecasting, micro blogging, and as a mobile social network.
From the press release
“Sen. Obama and the Democratic Party have talked about breaking down the walls of the convention to really let people get involved in the process,” said South Carolina blogger Tim Kelly. “Zannel is providing a way for bloggers to do that in an engaging and immediate way, and I’m excited to be a part of PoliticsBlue.”
“Blogging is not just great therapy it has allowed me the opportunity to truly connect with my community and beyond. To be the first credentialed blogger from Utah to attend the convention is pretty amazing,” said Utah blogger Rob Miller. “To have Zannel allow me this opportunity to reach out to a even greater audience is beyond my wildest dreams.”
“We’re excited to enable our nation’s political discourse to be instantly seen and discussed by people on their mobile or PC,” said Adam Zbar, CEO of Zannel, “and we will continue to work hard to develop mobile features that help keep the civic conversation up-to-date, vibrant, and accessible.”

This is quite frankly the future. Different bloggers or mission critical opinions from the DNC in one go. Everyone will be doing this in about 18 months.
