According to Kress and van Leeuwen (1998), information should be obtained immediate, short and detail in order to cater the fast pace moving society. Nowadays, Mobile devices are inherently social, enabling rich social interaction, and the potential for enhancing group work and communication within educational settings. Learners are constantly connected to their social networks via their wireless mobile devices. Once again, technology development has been changing to provide and convenience in managing their daily routines. And this is included in new genre media published through mobile video blog.
However, mobile video blog nowadays, are able to bring updated news, live broadcasting, watch video and also downloading the videos that people would like to watch on their mobile. And through mobile phone, now you can edit pictures and also edit musics. Faster mobile connections, and all-inclusive data packages, means people do not need a wad of cash to upload from anywhere. And now more handsets include onboard editing, so people can just send the really good bits.
According to Alexander et al. (2004) “mobile devices coupled with wireless networks have been described as ‘disruptive technologies’, and so have the web social software tools that have developed (blogs, wikis,
podcasting, vodcasting, online photo blogging”. (cited in Cochrane, 2007). The examples of mobile phones that supported those services, such as:
Nokia N95

In my opinion, since today’s mobile phones are powerful computers, people are easy to access site, watch, editing, captured, upload and downloading what they wants. As mention in Walsh (2006) people entering this site to will do so to obtain information and to give a variety of information engage not just to learn but to become involved.
